Attempted vibracore three times today but unfortunately it did not work. Took three shipek samples at three different locations. Seems like storms that previously moved through the area affected the bathymetry of locations we thought we would be able to get good cores at. Encountered spotted dolphins at 19:00 which remained beside the ship for 15 minutes before heading off. Currently in transit to our (hopefully) first coring site and should arrive at 21:30. So far no signs of seasickness, yay!!
