All instruments were set up, waiting to be operated. With 24 scientific crew members on-board we feel well equipped for the upcoming tasks. Today, we had ship introductions and work group meetings to get prepared for the upcoming journey. A few hours later RV Sonne started to pitch due to the increasing SE wind speeds. We finished the first night with a welcoming ceremony and the obligatory table tennis tournament in the \u201cKegelbahn\u201d. Now, one day later (on 24.07.2014) we fully reached stormy conditions with south-easterly winds heading towards our first CTD station in Mauritius territory. The CTD station went well with shallow ocean profiles measuring physical, chemical and biological parameters. At night (21:00 LT) I helped launching the radiosonde with a weather balloon from the back of RV SONNE, which felt like a Rodeo event. While writing this blog the waves start reaching my cabin window, I better go to bed now. Be back to the Oceanblogs tomorrow with updates from OASIS SONNE during stormy Indian Ocean conditions.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0by Kirstin Kr\u00fcger<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- Rendered by FancyBox without labels BEGIN -->\n\n\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t\t\t#gallery-0 {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t#gallery-0 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 49%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t#gallery-0 img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t#gallery-0 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n\t\/*\n\t *  Simple image gallery.
