of course to hear that you are making good Amphipod hauls and am sorry that other groups are not meeting with equal success but perhaps it will be better when you get farther South. You can only do the best you can and no one could do more. It is too bad that it costs so much for the use of a motor boat as I had thought that that would be one of your best methods of collecting. Experience is a wonderful asset so that next year you will know better what to do and what to expect. I am not surprised that you find it difficult to use the camera, for I was afraid it would be the case. But I would not worry about it as it is a secondary matter after all though it is nice to have good pictures. 

It must seem strange to be cut off so completely from the rest of the world. It really shows a very backward state of things, but after all it is probably due to the climate.
