Black Sea 2007, Day 6
We dive tomorrow. Today is our last day to get things squared away. After today, there’s no chance in turning back. But, we’ve got our cameras hung and wired. We’re streaming to the internet: http://www.immersionpresents.org or http://iao.gso.uri.edu or http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov. If you need assistance in finding the feeds within these web sites, let me know.
Life aboard ship has been interesting, as usual. Somethings have been the same (Don’t put your screwdriver down, because it won’t be there when you reach for it, etc) and somethings have been drastically different. On our transit from Italy to Greece (We’re south of the island of Santorini) you NEVER felt the engines and you RARELY felt the boat roll. This is a very quite boat, it seems not only are the engines on dampeners where they are connected to the ship, BUT it seems they are surrounded by a noise deadening system. That’s cool!
Our bunks are small, as usual, but we have our own shower and toilet facilities in each cabin. Typically we’ve had to share those with at least two other people in another cabin. The bedding is comfortable, but everyone (and I’m referring to the Americans) are stunned and confused as to why we’ve only been given a comforter to sleep with. We’ve had to ask for a sheet, to sleep with, as it’s so darned hot in all of our rooms. It seems the A/C units don’t work fantastically in the living quarters as all of the heat being produced by the engines and equipment take the responsibility.
