Day 3 now - more rain.

by Robin Folsom
September 17, l998

We were ready to go for submergence. First the clump was set on the bottom by filling the ballast tanks full of water. She sank nice and slow, and allowed for perfect placement.

Everything was going so well, Dennis and Joe decided to put the legs on the station before lunch. We came back from lunch ready to see all our hard work finally realized with our station safely under 30 feet of sea water.

It took only 3 hours and she looked almost surreal. As I floated above her, it didn't seem real - she almost came to life.

Back for our Mexican celebration.
