Dear F&F, January 18-19, 2009 Last night after an off & on rainy day, the wind piped up. Always seems to happen at night. My Captain goes on high alert when we are anchored & the wind gauge shows steady over 15-20 & gusts 25-30 knots. We really feel the effect of the elements especially

Dear F&F, January 17, 2009 Today\’s diving was not so much about what we saw as what we HEARD. On yesterday\’s dive, twice we heard a whap whap whap noise. Like someone was pounding against something hard on the ocean floor. That was new. Scott emailed Terry & the whale researcher that Terry had put

Dear F&F, January 15, 2009 When he dove to inspect the propellers this morning, Scott was happily surprised to find that the pitch had indeed changed on the starboard engine. He was shocked that something like a line or fishing net could do that. We never saw evidence of, but definitely snagged or hit something

Dear F&F, January 13, 2009 I had one of my best night\’s sleep in a long long time. I guess the excitement & exercise of the day wore me out enough to shut my brain off. Very nice. We were awake by 6 am, but it\’s pretty dark still at that hour so we lingered
