  I'm keeping this short because there are lots of people on this list: 
I've got an idea for a way to conserve bandwidth.  I've arrived in 
Halifax; I didn't get my birth certificate in time, so U.S. and Canadian 
customs are being a pain -- but it'll work out.
  Halifax is a pretty town: there's a giant British fort called The 
Citadel two blocks from my hotel.  I walked around it last night, being 
careful not to fall into the 20-foot-deep trenches around it.
  The Knorr is huge: it always takes me a few days to orient myself in a 
ship, and this one may take weeks.  More on the Knorr later.
  My e-mail address is sci5@knorr.whoi.edu.  Please do send me email, but 
please don't send me big binary or text files (unless I ask).  E-mail 
sent to any of my other addresses won't be read until I return in March.  
To make that clear, SEND EMAIL TO SCI5@KNORR.WHOI.EDU, NOT 
GOODMANJ@MIT.EDU.
  I'll be sending e-mail to this list as sort of a "sea diary": if you're 
not interested in hearing what I'm up to, say so.  A real letter will 
follow in a day or so.
