[20:30:15] approx one hour to bottom [20:30:31] Aloha all! Good morning. [20:35:54] aloha... nice to get a iittle midwater this am ;-) [20:36:28] Sure is! Let us know if you see anything cool, George -- neither Brian nor I are on SeaTube right now so your eyes are appreciated! [20:36:44] Video is as always keeping an eye out and clipping interesting sightings [20:37:10] been a pretty quiet water column thus far... but I'm always hoping [20:39:01] Yeah, anecdotally (anecdata?) from topside is suggesting potentially less productivity over here than our last guyot site [20:40:35] So glad there are some bio/geo SMEs. You provide such insight on UCH dives characterizing the environment [20:41:21] Aw, thanks Phil! Happy to, since we can't help ourselves anyway!

[21:22:58] Frankcantelas leaves the room [21:23:04] aloha all. Just wanted to let you folks know that I will be relaying chat messages to the shipboard team. Please feel free to use this as an avenue to communicate science priorities if the phone line is difficult to navigate. [21:23:22] Aloha e Hannah, good to have you! [21:24:04] emilycrum leaves the room [21:27:40] kaseycantwell leaves the room [21:27:41] emilycrum leaves the room [21:27:44] Lots of bioturbation in these seds. [21:29:27] Interesting channelization with these manganese nodules here [21:35:36] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [21:35:50] laurenshultz leaves the room [21:37:04] we are about 70-80 meters off the wreck currently and will be moving towards it soon [21:37:14] For our sediment-curious friends, here is a paper on how turbidites (underwter landslides) affect deep sea benthic communities https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/18/1893/2021/ [21:37:37] Very different context but helps inform our thinking [21:38:07] hannahfleming leaves the room [21:39:14] NOAA sediment thickness map information here: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/sedthick/ [21:39:35] Likely a couple of kilometers of sediment on the abyssal seafloor here [21:39:41] thanks Val!!!! [21:40:16] No problem! It's always fascinating to me how competent the chunks of bioturbated sediment have remained around the wreck [21:40:54] seriously, it's really a weird sed landscape. These mudstone/siltstone kind of chunks... [21:42:11] For real, Sara. It impacted with some force [21:42:41] williamhoffman leaves the room [21:42:43] kaseycantwell leaves the room [21:43:34] the sonar is showing multiple channels being between the large boulder piles [21:43:48] There should be some wild clay ridges in this spot too on approach [21:43:53] Hello all! [21:43:58] Aloha e Asako! [21:44:05] And Phil, keeping my eyes peeled! [21:45:09] 70m from wreck [21:45:26] Sara, it's just brilliant stuff. Hey Asako! [21:45:29] Hi Hi Sara! [21:45:39] Hi Phil [21:45:48] Enypniastes [21:46:28] can't see any jelly polyps on the epidermis [21:46:42] the headless chicken monster is its common name [21:47:01] WHAT [21:47:22] no kid [21:47:27] I LOVE IT [21:47:34] Now we're talking. [21:47:50] the genus name Enypniastes means "Dreamer" [21:48:06] because it's so dreamy! [21:48:49] Japanese name is dreaming seacucumber [21:49:02] Ctenophore just swam by? [21:49:19] christophermah leaves the room [21:49:21] missed it.. [21:51:22] massive looking hills here, wow [21:51:51] lindasunderland leaves the room [21:53:38] That's a serious crater! [21:54:41] anyone having audio problems? On full-res and microphones keep dropping off. [21:56:08] Not here [21:57:25] Crossota millsae [21:57:40] a rhopalonematid trachymedusa [21:58:06] such a beautiful jelly!! [21:58:11] very yellow [21:58:22] so beautiful! [21:58:25] and an oikopleurid larvacean behind it [21:58:36] lindasunderland leaves the room [21:58:51] lots of yellow tinge in that one with the pink not as pronounced [21:59:39] Noticing lots of features on the boulders sorta like "slumps" - imagine taking a piece of wet clay and throwing it over a rail and seeing it crack as it settles [22:00:09] christophermah leaves the room [22:00:55] laurenshultz leaves the room: Replaced by new connection [22:03:23] kaseycantwell leaves the room [22:03:55] @hannah do you want to jump on the teleconference line and talk about DPAA mission and interest in deep water shipwrecks [22:04:25] lindasunderland leaves the room [22:06:03] Hannah we can help troubleshoot if needed with video on the ship. [22:07:55] @Phil I can't, sorry. Family in the room and very, very loud [22:09:20] roger [22:09:50] williamhoffman leaves the room [22:10:50] laurenshultz leaves the room [22:16:17] aloha all, just repeating that if you're on the conference call please mute when you are not talking as we are getting a lot of interference on the conference line [22:16:30] Apologies for the tech issues, will continue to troubleshoot as best as can. [22:17:00] laurenshultz leaves the room [22:17:47] Yes we can [22:19:25] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [22:22:40] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [22:24:12] heatherjudkins leaves the room [22:25:07] We lost the line [22:27:17] back on, sounds like [22:29:59] Brian is pointing out the sonar is showing the frames through the hangar [22:30:04] we can see that structure so well [22:30:34] williamhoffman leaves the room [22:30:45] Great views on the blueview [22:40:42] williamhoffman leaves the room [22:41:12] heatherjudkins leaves the room [22:44:04] That's what I thought too! [22:45:36] kaseycantwell leaves the room [22:46:39] If there's a cowling and a wing, there should be more in there. [22:50:24] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [22:53:23] kaseycantwell leaves the room [22:53:32] heatherjudkins leaves the room [22:57:13] that almost looked like a baby Vampire squid right before this Crossota millsae, but we're too deep [22:58:07] What depth are we? [22:58:16] 5145m or so [22:58:25] We are at 5149.5 on D2's sensors [22:58:57] Too dep for them.... [22:59:01] deep [22:59:03] fish! [22:59:20] Communicating what was just said on air - to use our time best we are going to belay investigating the island until tomorrow in order to meet our objective of imaging the midships elevator and will then move along the port side and work towards stern [22:59:26] weather looks favorable tomorrow for island [22:59:31] williamhoffman leaves the room [22:59:36] @heather - yup, way too deep so I'll just need to figure out what else it could be. [22:59:56] Lol- me too! [23:03:48] @heather - sent you a video clip [23:04:27] chat-admin leaves the room: Replaced by new connection [23:06:18] @George- got it. And, agree it's a black blob'ish thing :) Not sure what that might be.... [23:06:31] :-) [23:06:47] it flaps at the end of the clip... [23:06:48] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [23:07:27] Love how quick yall are at IDs! [23:08:31] Maybe a small cirrate octopod? Some are found at 5000 m. But only about 51% confident on that :) [23:08:52] works for me [23:09:13] You see my annotation? WoRMS is a scary place for an archaeologist, but you're giving me some confidence [23:10:05] Didn't see it, Phil- but maybe a small cirrate.... maybe [23:10:58] HAHA phil that's how I feel as a paleontologist! [23:11:23] Just fyi we are going to look here in the bridge then head aft. Plan is to look starboard and image island tomorrow. Weather looks good. [23:13:17] What's that critter on the cable? [23:14:47] williamhoffman leaves the room [23:15:18] heatherjudkins leaves the room [23:16:30] Looks like sponge and anemones on the structure so far [23:17:17] @Sara- didn't see the one on the cable. [23:17:39] Hm, we've not got a good view on it now. I was wondering if it was a holothurian [23:17:58] some red things hanging down from the cable?? [23:18:16] maybe tube worms? [23:18:40] I agree about the tubeworms hanging down [23:18:52] yes been seeing evidence of agglutinating tube worms in these depths in the seds we pull up [23:21:44] Lots of visible encrustations here [23:22:15] Potentially got a glimpse of what might be some branching tube worms in the background? or bryos cant tell but would gess they wouldn't be happy in there [23:23:50] laurenshultz leaves the room [23:28:34] Rhopalonematid trachymedusa - maybe Arctapodema? [23:28:43] I was waiting for the ID! Thanks Dhugal! [23:28:50] quite a few of them drifting by [23:29:04] laurenshultz leaves the room [23:29:13] heatherjudkins leaves the room [23:29:31] awesome [23:32:31] williamhoffman leaves the room [23:35:34] @Heather - I'm now thinking that the small blob was a small cucumber swimming by.. [23:35:43] baby cucumber!!!! [23:36:18] I think I've spotted a few stalked sponges [23:36:22] @George- oooh, a good other option for the blob [23:37:53] williamhoffman leaves the room [23:38:53] ervangarrison leaves the room [23:47:12] heatherjudkins leaves the room [23:49:41] kellymarkello leaves the room [23:52:31] williamhoffman leaves the room [23:53:31] Jelly [23:53:52] Atolla [23:54:25] a crown jelly! [23:54:34] looks like one of the ones that is not yet described ;-) [23:55:06] Can't sample on UCH sites unfortunately :( [23:55:12] sorry all [23:55:25] that's okay, we can just enjoy it. it's not bothered at all by us [23:55:39] great video! thank uyo [23:55:41] you [23:56:20] thank you george!!
