Team 1 recap, Day 4:

Due to our mechanical problems with the Spyhop’s engine, we decided to use today as our recreation day. We headed to Monterey early this morning and split up. Jin and Maho took to Fisherman’s Wharf, where they went out on a whale watching trip. A few hours later they returned with stories of humpback whales and a basking shark. The rest of the crew went down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to take in the giant kelp forest tank, the diverse displays of sea otters and jellyfish and the ocean tank with yellowfin tuna and the HUGE sunfish! After a great day, we met up for a late dinner of Hawaiian cuisine and headed home to prepare for a full day in the field.
