Day 8, Still Recapping
Day 3, Galveston, Pier 40We can always tell when it is 8am, as we're working with the Navy, they raise a flag on the NR-1's aft, and bring it down at 5pm.
The ship we're on is the Carolyn Chouest. It's a flat-bottom boat and it feels EVERY wave, even when we're in port.
While in port, the NR-1 is pulled along side of the Chouest. This gives the Navy crew the ability to run tests and do any maintenance required.
We're still cabling up the ship. This is a little different for me than usual, as there are two bridges: One for when they drive the ship forward, and the other one is facing the fantail, aft of everything, during the ROVs operation. There are two robotic cameras, which we had last year, but as Bob is completing his dream of telepresence, he's going to have control from Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT.
