Journal 17 - Joshua Idjadi: Day 6: Saturday, June 15, 2002 Rough seas equal poor visibility down here. Once again our lines and reels have come in handy for finding our way back to the excursion lines. It's a little eery to see a thin string trail off into the blue, knowing that it's your only connection to the habitat. The current conditions do not compare to conventional visions of tropical paradise. At 70 feet the water was murky and chilly. The gloom was split occasionally by lightning flashes. Initially I mistook them for flash photography. Despite the "poor" conditions, I definitely love the luxury of the time we can spend out in the water. Data collection isn't a race against the clock (the usual situation for normal research divers). Unfortunately, we really only have two days left of solid data collection time. Pete Edmunds told me he saw a rainbow in Key Largo this evening. I hope is means sunshine and better visibility tomorrow. I also hope our surface crew can get out and do some diving (and not just because they're bringing hot chocolate). Until tomorrow.... |
