Cake for the whole US Navy??? Time to bring out the big guns...

I'm working on the edit of the first chunk of Bear's logs (1886-89)!

Hooray!!! She's at the intersection of the two circles, based on the article.





This website puts in 6,000 feet of water.

I can now tell you that we played a small role in the identification of the BEAR wreck. Using the logs imaged for Old Weather we provided the NOAA search team was able to determine that there should be no ship's engine at the site. All the details:

That's great. Lots of interesting background on the Bear from that link, only had to stop reading as I need to go out soon!

Oh my goodness - they found the Bear. And OW played a part in that. For the immense good that the Bear did in its active history and for giving us back the history of the weather, we played a little part in finding her. Gosh that makes me feel good

Incredible news, Kevin! Thanks for posting that - feels pretty cool to have played a small part!

One for Joan, Something different.

They are a dodgy looking bunch of penguins. They steal pebbles off each other, money laundering is just the next step on I reckon. Macaronis (the one with the dodgy hairdo) stand really close to each other and look like they are whispering secrets - probably working out the dividends from their ill-begotten funds. And that group of Kings look like they are waiting for an illegal boat to arrive on the next tide.
The Adelie is The Security Operative - they take no hostages, and don't mind taking on any other bird on the beach.
A rum bunch of coves if you ask me!
