Guten morgen! It's day 8 in the flume, and we're running 3 hour wave runs (SB0). That's quite a long time in between runs but we're finding ways of occupying ourselves, like reading papers, processing data on matlab, or making yourself look like a pig with a coffee mug... times are hard!
The beach appears to be stabilizing, so today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean (well maybe not clean, but it's definitely hot here) and climate change is upon us... yes that's right the sea level has risen by 10 cm and we are now on SB1! Look at them waves crash. The 'sea spray' is splashing onto our laptops now, so we need to take cover! Hopefully tomorrow we'll see a change in the sand bar migration, or maybe we won't and it'll just flatten out and re-form further up the beach? You'll find out tomorrow!
Once again we say goodbye to two of our team, Chris and Tom. Thank you so much for you help and fingers crossed everything will go to schedule... Otherwise you maybe hearing from us Chris!
Final update - the vectrinos still don't work (just incase any of you were concerned). Thank you Peter for trying to sort it from all the way back in England, much appreciated!
