Chest Infection Da Off Work?

The End

Marco and Naida are arrived in Martinica. I talked to Marco. They're fine. They will be probably tomorrow in LA, at home.

I guess they still have still things to say and to show here for us. But now it's up to them. With this short but *passionate* message, I leave my duty.

Tx to you all for following us.

Good Night. And good Luck.

What Kind Of Car Does Homer Simpson Drive?

Unbelievable! As soon as I finished to translate in my poor english the last post, I received a mail from M&N. Here it is.

Ciao a tutti,
eccoci qua, mancano 6 giorni all'arrivo a Martinica e tre giorni dal momento che la nave dirigerà verso l'isola, siamo quasi alla fine di questa strana lunga avventura.
We still have hope, baby, happy to find the boat moored to dock some of the Caribbean, who knows ...
Life on board continues with the usual routine and eventually the sea conditions made it possible to submerge the robot for several days. We are fine even if we can not wait to get there, even if the hospitality we received on board was more than friendly. By the way thanks to the Captain, crew and scientific team.
Greetings to all those who have followed us and a big thanks to all the emails of solidarity we have received.

Mark and Naida

Dear All,

here we are, six days to go and just three before the ship will head for Martinique. Our strange and long adventure is leading toward the end.
We still have a very tiny hope to find our boat happily tied up at some caribbian dock... but, very very tiny. The ship's life is running as usual and, actually, the sea conditions in the last days has allowed the Robot to be diving.
We are fine even if we can't wait the moment to see the land, though the hospitality on the ship has been more than friendly. A big thank you to the Capitain, the whole crew and the scietific crew for everything.
A big hallo to all of you that have followed us for all this time and a special thank for all the beautiful email we received.


Marco e Naida

Big Knockers And High Heels

Dal they do not get news from at least a week and since Federica in a comment asked us interesting details about the ship, I will publish the email Mark sent me some time ago and I have told you that I had failed. In fact, reading it is interesting, I'm sorry for the omission :-) And remember that describes situations now ten days ago.

Here we shall have plunged the robot that had a technical problem solved but because the recovery of the waves was a bit 'hard now so expect a lot calmer conditions. the wind continues to exist even if the sea has dropped to about 2.5-3.5 m still too much for them. In fact the activity is fairly constant, night and day. Using primarily a tool that descend to 35000 feet which collects, controlled by a computer, water samples are analyzed at various depths, etc ... and this happens all the time. The ship moves little from point to point and then uses this station connected to the GPS system that automatically activates the propellers to keep it in place.
I chatted with one of the researchers, which has almost finished university 'and is beginning to be well paid, he actually goes about 8 months a year in various research vessels, and he told me that requests for people like him are numerous, type can now choose between three different
research facilities to work with, probably going to SanDiego. However, this reality 'is quite large, the most active and are good Germans, French and of course the Americans.
The expedition's leader is a woman named Nicole and andis very nice and crisp, very curious and intelligent. I must say that in spite of the weather for them this problem is very serious retain an enviable aplomb.
know how much diesel fuel consumed per day this ship? between 15 and 20 tonnes per day
, that 'between 15,000 and 20,000 gallons per day ... not bad.
Now that we have 8 days here ... sometimes we're a bit tired at times not so much at times.

Since I have no news from a week and asked me to post since Federica Some details about the vessel, I'll post for you the mail that Marco sent me days ago and that I left out. My fault: in effect it's interesting. I ask you to forgive me. Just remember when you read this that is pretty old, i.e.it describes situation of ten days ago.

Here the works are proceeding. They dip the robot that had a technical problem that they solved but the recover was tricky due to the waves. So now they're waiting for better weather conditions. There still some wind and even if the wave are now smaller (around 2.5 -3.5 m) they're still to big for them. Actually the activity on board is pretty frantic. They work day and night. They use a strange object that they dip to 35.000 m down below the surface that is computer assisted and takes samples of water at different depths to be analysed. And this is done continuously. They try to keep the boat in position and thay have a system connected to the GPS that activates the propellers so to keep the ship steady and in position.

I talked to one of the guys in charge of the researches and he has almost finished his studies and he's starting to work and to be payed enough. He spends almost 8 months a year on board od different ship like this and he told that there is a good demand for people like him. So he now can choose between three different team to work with, and he'll probably go to San Diego. Anyhow this situation is quite normal: the best team are german, french and - of course - american.

The chief of the team on board is a woman. Her name is Nicole and she's very nice to everybody, very clever and bright. I Must Say That In Spite of this problem with the wetaher, They keep very cool.

Do you know how much "drinks" a ship like this? Between 15 and 20 tons of gasoil to day ... not bad. Now it's eight days we're here ... Sometimes we're a little tired, "Sometimes a lot, and Sometimes we're just ok.
