After boarding the ship a few of us seemed to be overwhelmed by their excitement about this whole adventure, whereas others went straight to work, unpacking all the equipment. Due to the current COVID-19 situation all crew were accommodated in single cabins and will be wearing face masks during the first two weeks of the voyage, whenever keeping a distance indoors is not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, at noon on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> of August it was time to depart.<br><em>RV Sonne<\/em> slowly started moving. Leaving the port of Emden, going through the locks, heading down the river Ems and off into the North Sea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, we\u2019d like to thank Ute and Gert Bartels kindly for their wonderful farewell at the locks and the great pictures they have taken and provided for this blog entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/08\/IMG_1649.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/08\/IMG_1649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/08\/IMG_1649-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/omax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2020\/08\/IMG_1649-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>RV Sonne<\/em> within lock (Photo: Ute and Gert Bartels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>11 days of passage from Emden to Sicily with a lot to see along the way. Our route takes us through the English Channel, across the Bay of Biscay off the French coast and eventually through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea towards Sicily and Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, transit time is well spent with preparation works like laying cables, setting up the various laboratories, installing equipment and testing it thoroughly. In our free time we do sport on deck (the gym is still closed because of Covid19), socialize with each other and the ship\u2019s crew. Every now and then a guitar can be heard or one might just sit on deck and soak up the sun while enjoying the wind in their hair and the sound of water passing the ship, as she steadily and safely takes us further south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, we\u2019ve already spotted a pod of dolphins \u2013 supposedly, promising good fortune to the seafarer \u2013 and whales that had basically all of us excited on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are looking forward to an exciting research cruise and hope you are motivated to stay updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are interested in one specific topic or another, say a scientific method or a project or living situation onboard, please just let us know.
