64PE366 - Day 4

First CTD: 6am this morning… I'm glad I went to bed before 11pm yesterday. While Jose, Corina, Rick and Ger are helping Mrs Rosette to go into the water, I'm contemplating the scene. Admirative of how they all just don't seem tired at all. Amazed of how big the tension on the rope can be: from 500kg to 1200kg, I notice on the screen. Amused to see that the sky is so dark that we actually don't see any horizon line, but only the foam of some nearby waves - which, such as dolphins would, seem to be willing to play with the Pelagia.

And then "she" comes back. Exactly like a monster would, she comes out of the water, slowly. Only one thin and apparently fragile rope is linking her to us, but still, she arrives on the deck, full of the treasures we lust after. Julia and I filled the carboys with them. And everything is back to normal on the deck.
