Mission Journal 6 — Niels Lindquist: Mission Day 3: Wednesday, August 11th, 2004
Thor was up early as usual beginning the daily systems check. After Thor and Roger had several conversations with the base back on Key Largo, we were told that the storm was moving towards the FL Keys and fast enough that decompression needed to be started sooner rather than later in the day and that we’d not be able to have an excursion this morning. We made arrangements with our day boat crew to come out and pick up the ADV and other equipment from the reef. We’ve started packing up all of our gear, which will be removed later today. Now, we simply wait as the AQUARIUS techs secure the habitat and begin storm preps.
