Land ahoy!!
All the scientists that participated in Leg 1 of Cruise 3, Mascarene Plateau, are shown in the image below. They are from left to right: Michelle Etienne; Oddgeir Alvheim; Helena Francourt; Denis Tweddle; Ole Sverre Fossheim; Marek Ostrowski; Tore Mork; Isabelle
Ansorge (Local Chief Scientist); Vimal Ramchandar; Vikash Muibodhe; Vincent Lucas; Kim Bernard; Sven Kaehler; Riaan Cedras; Jackie Hill; Tommy Bornman; Morgane Perri; Rodney Govinden & Tore Stromme (Cruise Leader).
Most of the scientists and crew (minus the Seychellois participants that preferred to go home for a well deserved rest and local cuisine) went out that evening to paint Victoria red! I'm proud to say we partied like true sailors that have been at sea for too long & some only returned to the ship as the sun came up! The next day was spent exploring the beautiful Island of Mahe. Below are some of the photos taken in between eating crab curry & swimming at near pristine beaches.
The R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen remained in port for 3 nights to bunker
