Jim Buckley: Mission Day 11: Thursday, April 13th, 2006
Already day 11 and it’s 2100 hours.. The time is just flying by. The day starts early and ends late. Not that that’s a bad thing.
I got out for a 80 min dive this afternoon. I watched the ROV ops being conducted from inside Aquarius. A little bit of current and the wrong heading can make for a uncomfortable dive for the operator. Tether management is an important factor when “flying” the ROV.
Four spotted eagle rays have been hanging around for the last few days. coming closer each day. They must be getting more comfortable with us in their neighborhood, and of course the rest of the sea life has accepted our presence as well.
Topside I do appreciate all your support, it would be miserable without it. Thank You.
