Turning the corner
The waters around the ship were clearest blue today as
Carolyn and NR-1 headed into the Straits of Florida.
The Gulf stream is still against us and we're only able
to make about 7.5 knots (about 8 mph). NR-1 was on the surface briefly to
send over a spare UQC--underwater telephone to replace one that malfunctioned
on Carolyn.
The two ships stay in regular contact and when Carolyn
failed to answer after the phone went out, NR-1 came up to check on her.
Once the spare was installed, NR-1 dove down again, but
not before sending over some of her crew in exchange for others who had
been riding the Carolyn. This way everyone gets a chance to participate
in the training. |
