ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. We are now @ 23º 51.22 N, 164º 35.00 W cruising near Necker Island, doing some mapping on our way back. To map better, we slow down to 6 knots, otherwise the mapping. Its been 20 days since we departed from Honolulu. It has been a great experience so far, but I can t wait to be on firm land, now that the exciting part is over. Hasnt been kicked out yet. I guess. 8:47 a. m. No hay comentarios.:.

ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. We are now above Necker ridge @ 21º33.78 N, 168º14.52 W, 18:15 Hawaii time. The Baco-Taylor team had their first dive. They brought up a bunch of deep sea corals and sponges and are now in the lab taking care of every sample as I write. They put samples in. Also brought two samples of rocks that seem to be lava covered in a dark crust of metal oxides. Today its a week since we started the trip! Saludos a todos,. 7:51 a. m.

ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. Bios had their penultimate dive. Currently cruising at 22º22.4 N, 167º17.7 W, 20:30 Hawaii time. The sea was even flatter than yesterdays! The surface was glossy, silky. Clouds reflecting on the endless ocean water. All of it gave the illusion of being in some endless flat. Mahimahis swimming around the boat and few birds. I keep hoping for dolphins, but they don;t show up. We are in the desert of the Pacific. 10:07 a. m.

ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. We are now going back to Gardner Pinnacles.

Crónicas X: Day 11
http://tawonque.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-11.html
ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. Bios had another dive. The pics were very nice, a bunch of strange corals and sponges with funny shapes. They recovered a Manganese rock from the bottom. Cool. We are now transiting to the next spot, currently @ 22º37.2 N, 166º51.9 W, 23:36 Hawaii time. Today the sea was very calm, I can guess that if this is what Magellan found after passing the windy Patagonian seas, then the name Pacific is well deserved. 1:07 p. m. Links de los panas.

ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. Now @ 25º21.09 N, 167º53.39 W heading to our next dive site, 21:00 Hawaii time. They launched a remote operated vehicle to inspect the bottom. It doesnt look very interesting so far. lets wait and see. Today I was down at 1200 mbsl with Juan Carlos and Terry, the pilot. It was very cool. We saw more animals than in my first, deeper, dive. There was a dead octopus with a body. Have a great weekend you all! 10:33 a. m. Links de los panas.

http://tawonque.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-7.html
ADVERTENCIA Cualquier parecido con la realidad es pura coincidencia. Now @ 23º33.78 N 168º14.52 W, 19:00 Hawaii time. Since last evening the wind has been increasing and the swell is now strong. The dive in program was cancelled, and the plans changed. With bad weather, it becomes difficult to launch. And pick up the sub safely. Now we are heading south to the Necker Ridge, an underwater chain running SW-NE in the middle of the Pacific, where the bios plan to sample deep water corals for genetic.
