The Gough64 team members decided to take turns in writing blog posts, to update family and friends back home.

The first post was written by Cathy Mbazwana, Medic of Gough64.

This blog entry is about team member, Christopher Jones’s birthday party (Click here to read the blog). She also added the sea temperature and climate data for September and October 2018 to this blog post. It is great to hear that your team takes pride in planning and attending each other’s birthday parties. Your team dynamics definitely show positive signs for the year ahead.

Thanks for this great initiative Gough64.

We do still hope that the team decides to compile a newsletter in the coming months, but we are excited about this blog initiative and the stories your team will deliver.
