Today we started out the day with setting up the portable satellite for sending and receiving email for the whole NASA team. I worked a little trying to catch up with all of my journal entries. It is hard to remember sometimes to be all up to date with everything. A lot of times I work with technical problems with the wireless router, connectivity onboard the ship with their INMAR SAT B station. There are another 4 members that I consider part of the NASA team that are with us now. There is this guy, Jeremy Bates who the Jeremy Project is named after. He is from Santa Clara College and is working with the whole Sunken Frigate mission. He is also roomed up with Seth, Mark and myself.

We are now going north of Barrow again for all kinds of tests onboard the ship. One of the tests that the Coast Guard is doing is what I believe to be water samples from the various depths from the ocean. Also the Coast Guard and NAVY divers are practicing the diving situation. They will be working with a portable robot called a TROV. The TROV will be going under water and video taping the sunken ships that are somewhere in the Arctic Circle.

I've been drinking a lot of mint tea lately. It is one of the better things onboard the ship to drink. That and one of my favorites, fruit punch Kool aid. The NASA team and myself help out a lot with sending out email and retrieving pictures and such for some of the other people onboard the ship. There is a man from the Economist magazine that I help out sometimes with sending out his stories and articles so that they can be published. Right now we have the only access to the Internet because the Polar Star's satellite isn't working at this moment.
