Some last-minute planning |
Straight on 'til Morning
As the sun sets, our first destination nears. Less than
twelve hours now until the science crew steps off the Chouest and into to
the sub to plunge to the depths of the Gulf. Excitement and a bit of nervousness
loom in the air as we hope all will go smoothly. The day was a bit slow
since all systems are set to go. All testing is complete.
Another safety meeting was given for the scientists to
ensure that all deck operations are conducted carefully. The tow rope makes
the back deck a hazardous place to be. Safety is addressed seriously and
thoroughly aboard the Chouest. |



Reviewing safety procedures - Again. |
