Good afternoon all, we just loaded our 6 ton, 2.5 million dollar submersible onto a flatbed truck for it’s journey over to our research ship called the Chapman where it will be loaded onboard for it’s early morning voyage tomorrow. The plan is to take the sub to our little island of Klein Curacao and do a pre-run of sorts before the Smithsonian Institution arrives later this month, we want to make sure the ship is in tip-top running order. I am unable to go on this trip due to my broken hand and not being able to get the cast wet so I will hold down the fort here at substation. This is one of my resident lionfish that lives at around 110 feet out in front of the Substation lagoon and I try to stop and say hi every time I am out. There are a few lionfish here that everyone knows not to mess with as I photograph them on a daily basis and they have become very docile and super easy to approach, kind of like fish friends if you will
