FRIDAY THE JUNK DEPARTS 0500 THIS MORNING. NOT TOO MANY OF THE CREW MAKE IT TO BREAKFAST AND THINGS TAKE A WHILE TO GET GOING TODAY. I WENT OUT WITH MARGARET (S-011) TO DO SKUA OBSERVATIONS AGAIN THIS MORNING. ANOTHER CLEAR AND WARM DAY. ILLIRIA HERE AT 1400. ANDY AND DWAINE DRILL HOLES AND RESET ALL THE POSTS FOR THE ANTENNA LINE UP TO THE VLF ANTENNA. NO. 2 SEA WATER PUMP DOWN DUE TO A BEARING FAILURE. MOST OF THE CREW WERE OUT ON THE ILLIRIA TONITE FOR THEIR GREEK NITE FESTIVITIES AND SOME OF US HAD WAY TOO MUCH UZO. MY EXCUSE WAS THAT I HAD DIRECT ORDERS FROM THE MARINE PROJECTS COORDINATOR.
