00:00:12.499 --> 00:00:17.715
Our current status is that we are down for weather, which is kind of a typical thing for going to seas.

2
00:00:20.126 --> 00:00:25.744
We have a few minutes to play ping pong because we are currently experiencing bad weather. So you might see me go this way or that way.

3
00:00:28.712 --> 00:00:31.421
You know, we always have to worry about wind and waves.

4
00:00:32.303 --> 00:00:37.331
Any ROV will not launch in a certain threshold of wind because it’s just not safe for the vehicle.

5
00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:39.160
They don’t want to put it down and not be able to get it back.

6
00:00:39.745 --> 00:00:45.078
I’m certainly hopeful that we can get back down there and complete some of our sample collections.

7
00:00:45.576 --> 00:00:47.581
In oceanography, you really have to be flexible.

8
00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:53.417
I always come out here with a plan of how it’s going to work and then within a few days it all falls apart

9
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:56.300
and we have to keep putting it back together, but that’s part of the fun.

10
00:00:57.166 --> 00:00:57.958
It keeps you on your toes.
