If you look at our recent GPS trajectory, you might think our navigator is, well, under the influence.But actually, our course is a planned path between 3 specific spots:Da Base: Our home base for the past few days.Da Hole: A location slightly south of Da Base, where the satellites showed chlorophyll levels looking a little low.Da Hump: A spot slightly north of Da Base, where the satellites indicated chlorophyll levels were a little higher than the surrounding areas.So we started at Da Base, went down to Da Hole, back to Da Base, up to Da Hump, back to Da Base, down to Da Hole, back to Da Base, and now we're heading back to Da Hump...
