Did an interview with kids in the Broward County School system, then one with
the Miami PBS station. This delayed the departure, but will get us on a good
schedule for the rest of the mission. The current was still pumping along
making runs out to the site long swims, but we can coast all the way back.
More of the same for most of the day, fixing the cage flanges to the bottom in
hopes of getting these sealed adequately to hole the desired species of fish
in. This is tough going due to the rugosity of the reef and the holds that
sometime connect distant parts of the reef structure. We are concerned about
moray eels being inadvertently caged into the cages and thus getting our
fish. We canvassed the cages one night as say none in the cages. However, we
noted one in cage 17 today, but it was not especially large and we can
probably get him to leave with minimal hassle. Cage 24 has a lot of structure
and holes in it; we have seen one eel, but there is obviously a big one there.
This morning there was a large hole blasted directly through the chicken wire
where something came out through the top of the cage and a second hole in the
side where something came back in. In both cases, it looked like a rocket had
gone through the cage material. These are impressive animals.

Computer #3 came down today. It worked for about 1h then gave up due to the
pressure. Three strikes and we are out of computers.... back to pencil and
paper.
