Although the sub was in the water, many of the crew had the day off. As far as I can tell, most of them work around the clock, so such a rest was [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2009/12/26/christmas-at-sea/">...</a>]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not everything on a research vessel always goes according to plan. Today we awoke to find out that during the night the primary CTD winch failed, leaving about 2000 meters of cable and a large instrument package over the side. Alvin cannot dive when we have a wire in the water, so this situation is [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2009/12/24/but-time-will-not/">...</a>]]]></description>

The next day, with the help of pilot Bruce Strickrott and pilot-in-training Anton Zafereo, we dove in Alvin to recover the device and [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2009/12/22/a-light-in-the-darkness/">...</a>]]]></description>

All new crew members and scientists are provided a comprehensive orientation to introduce them to many of the ships operations, safety equipment, and procedures.

Many of the most exciting Earth processes occur at mid-ocean ridges, including [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2009/12/17/journey-to-the-epr/">...</a>]]]></description>
