Dave and Brian's Excellent Adventures

Today is our last day in the Black Sea. We're searching the very last of the targets we've found. I talked to one of the scientists, he figures we've checked 95% of the targets Echo found. Which is phenomenal, compared to most research missions, where they don't get to more than 50%. Tomorrow is a port stop in Yalta, Ukraine. We're there through the 24th, when we leave for Istanbul, to pick up the ENG crew coming to film Dr. Ballard for the Santorini leg of this expedition.

This part of the expedition was looking for wrecks. There was lots of science used to search the large body of water that is the Black Sea. But the next leg, in Santorini, is all geologically driven. Like at Lost City, we'll be collecting rocks and water samples. Santorini is an old volcano that a side of it fell in. The side that fell in was next to the Aegean Sea, where the water rushed in and created a lake. The pictures of this area should be fantastic.
