R/V MIRAI

"blue sky"

Fine and calm sea condition
Blue sky with shallow cumulus (photo-1)

Observations:

All observations are stopped, because we do not get a permission for observation within some countries' EEZ.

Remarks:

Ship is alive. Even when we do not have any observation, ship crew must work as usual. Painting (photo-2) is one of the most basic and important tasks for them, since it is necessary to keep the ship good condition against the salty condition.
