Commentary:

The Cessna made its last flyby today for our "large triangle" configuration. Just after sunset we plan to say good-bye to our friendly buoy and dolphins, and steam to the Ron Brown's "small triangle" position 20 km southwest of Nauru.

There has been a flurry of activity in association with tomorrow's RHIB (small boat) run to Nauru, which will occur just after we reach the small triangle position (ETA 0930 local time, July 1).

Visual Observations:

Another beautiful day without much scenery. A few showers appear on the horizon, but otherwise we see only ubiquitous, small cumuli and occasional whitecaps.

Instrument Status:

All is well. It was another good radiometer and photometer day.
