Tuesday, 22 February 2011 – Day 5, Open Seas

1050 - The land workers came aboard today. These are the company office workers who plan, prep and organize the operation from a financial, governmental and scientific stand point. There’s talk of changing location for awhile, as the pumping station barge was in need of some maintenance.

Half an hour later, we’re heading to an offshore pumping sight. The game plan has changed temporarily. Rather than collecting and dumping loads continuously, we’re collecting for a given amount of time and dumping out at dawn and dusk only. I’m not quite sure I understand the whole idea… but I’m excited about heading further out into the deep blue!
