 THE WORLD DISCOVERER HERE THIS MORNING. TED DELACA ARRIVES. BALDO MARTINOVIC, GLEN SMITH, AND DAVE RINGELBURG OF S-033 DEPART WITH TONY AND JAY ON DISCO. R/V HERACLITUS HERE THIS AFTERNOON WITH 15 ABOARD. THIS BOAT IS A REAL PIECE OF WORK…A CHINESE JUNK 80 FEET LONG MADE OF FERROCEMENT AND LOOKING PRETTY SCARY. THERE WAS A 16 AND A 17 YR OLD ABOARD AND THE REST OF THEM IN THEIR EARLY 20'S. A GROUP OF DREAMERS AND ADVENTURERS CALLING THEMSELVES RESEARCHERS. THEY SPENT THE NITE TIED TO OUR DOCK. I THINK THIS HAD TO BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVENINGS I'VE SEEN SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE. JUST SIMPLY GEORGEOUS.
