Yesterday we lost the power supply on one of the cables. We had to pull all the cables up to the ship to get it fixed. This is a difficult operation. To avoid tangling, all the cables were stacked on top of each other at different depths, from 2 to 16m (7 to 50 feet) below the sea surface.For a while we were close to making eight cables into a big spaghetti behind the ship. We had to steer the ship on a course straight into the waves to avoid waves and currents from the side. Fortunately we have some very skilled guys working on the back deck. Now we’re back on track, and the airguns have started to fire on Line 5.
In the instrument room, we are close to getting the on-board data processing up and running. Probably we will get it set up today. Then I can return to the office tomorrow.
Last night we had really nice weather, and approximately 3m (10 feet) of waves. Right after midnight, I was out on the helicopter deck to take the picture shown above >:)
