Day 3 now - more rain.

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.
