Day 1
Today, he has therefore come to the big expiry date. After seeing the first Night spent on board, we were all excited again aground. That should happen officially 9am in the morning, but before that there were awful early breakfast at 7:30 clock.
The expiry shifted slightly back, but then we put it in not very great temperatures today (tomorrow, I still had to wear a sweater), lots of wind and zero sun to sea. Because of the rather sub-optimal weather conditions, the ship began soon busy working on to rock, which led to my being on 1 Was seasick at all times since, and on 1 Time in a long time had to take travel sickness tablets. Fortunately, this soon subsided a bit from me and we went better, but what can not be said of all expedition members (and it looks as if that were not only "sea sickness").
therefore also a wonderful video from the window of our cabin:
And "funny" wave Dodge:
Then we took our player, and found that the contaminated Purgesystem was very nice.
We let it run all day and so it really did not improve. Still no reason to panic, however. For this, the radiosonde for measuring the amounts at 1 atmosphere Time allowed to rise, leading to general amusement.
Only the different approvals for countries in the territories we operate were missing, yet. Since we still had some time and that apparently is not unusual that no one was really worried.
evening we went to the then play cards (Uno) ... So it's still a bit like summer camp. However, very unferienlagermäßig then the pump went Underway for the measurement system (that is, that one can continuously without stopping to take water samples. The water we pumped from the hydraulic shaft and then can be tapped) is broken, what for my sample also rather stupid, because we really wanted to continuously get our water from there.
Day 2 went
now getting up a lot worse and it's slightly irritating when permanent water beats against its own window.
Interestingly, the system now looks bright but a lot better. This is somehow mysteriously, even when we but the night really had nothing done to it and I had seen no change at midnight yesterday. Well, rejoice and be glad, you should not complain, yes.
Then we wanted water, however, since we finally have to calibrate once (the day after tomorrow is the first right station, and until then the device must be calibrated correctly as possible), and the occasional need to run real sea water samples. But since the Underway-sample system just is not as ideal (the technician relies on the pump, the turn is now and also because the pump is a bit weak), we wanted to get it directly from the bottle with her railing. But we have to stop, however, and as it now turns out, we are in Moroccan waters and can measure here, because we sure do not have permission. That is, we may have to rise no radiosonde and we must not continue. We will probably tomorrow morning to be out of these waters, which means that as long as I can do nothing on my device. It is nice that one before the stations again has some free time, but I'd much rather just work and calibrate. For that we must measure it tomorrow and then calibrated so that we for the first major station ( TENATSO ) are ready. Hopefully this works
so now I sit here and do not have much to do and try a new pump for the Underway-sampling system to organize. Time look at what still lies ahead ...
