June 18th

This morning members of the ICEX team: Professor Wood, Kole, Makoto, and Russell, started their day with a deployment. They were able to complete 9 legs of survey before coming in due to high winds and increased swells.

While they were deploying Mitchell worked on a program using maps, made by Sam, that show high interest areas from the sonar data. The program creates bounding boxes of those areas and can be used to make an AUV path to gather more film for the 3D reconstruction.

Later than afternoon, as a team, we went over the sonar data in hopes of finding a wreck. While looking we came across some interesting looking features, maybe to explore later.
Shortly after a few members of the team took a short break down at the Point.

We ended the day getting dinner together at a traditional Maltese restaurant.
