Black Sea 2007, Day 21
We arrived North of the Bosphorus around 5 am. This boat was waiting patiently to unload our broken bow-thruster. The hope today WAS to wait around 12 hours and make a personnel. There are people on this boat that were supposed to get off on the 17th, and there are people on land that were supposed to be on the boat on the 17th. I’m sure there’s a hefty bill for hotels, food, and transportation because of all the events that have gone completely wrong during this expedition. I’m just happy I’M not the one working on the logistics for this trip. I’m pretty sure there are people on shore that have more than one plane ticket for their name.
After a day of working on tying up the loose ends that have been troubling us for days, wiring in Echo’s Benthos box, we finish up by producing our Immersion Presents Daily Updates. Every day, at noon, if you watch the streaming video at http://www.immersionpresents.org click on “Channels” at the top of the page and you too can be updated.
We started the shows two days ago, and end on the 26th. It’s simple, but we’re doing quite a lot without a lot. Doc Mary and I joke the two of us are the producers, directors, APs, ADs, Tape, Audio, A2, Lighting Directors, grips, and Stage Managers. At least they’re seated the whole time and don’t move any where.
After waiting 12 hours we were told we couldn’t make the personnel transfer. We started our transit to Sinop D, where we’ll be dealing with an older wreck than at Cherosenesis. 24 hours from now we’ll be in the northern section of Turkey. Our hope is that we’ll be able to make the personnel transfer. If not, I’m pretty sure there are people on board the ship that will start swimming.
