2008, Bermuda Caves Expedition
August 13, 2008 We (John, John, Jon, Alex, and Amy) leave Bermuda today, and we are really going to miss all of the people that have been such an integral part of this expedition. It has been so much fun working with everyone, and we are very grateful to all…
August 12, 2008 Today is our last day in Bermuda, and there is lots to do! If I didn’t know any better, I would think we were in Seattle…the rain was coming down in buckets all morning long. Terrence, Gil, Amy, and some local divers headed to Walsingham to retrieve…
August 11, 2008 This is our last broadcast day from Bermuda, and tonight – at 10 pm our time – we did our broadcast with Moody Gardens Aquarium in Galveston, TX. We had a leisurely day of running errands, filling tanks, and relaxing a bit. The IntX crew spent some…
August 10, 2008 Today was our day off, and although we were all looking forward to a day out on the reef, Mother Nature had other plans. The IntX crew looked for some kitesurfing, Terrence was a bit under the weather, and Amy spent the day on the dock at…
August 9, 2008 We began our day today at 6:00 am heading for Clear View to meet Carl. Once there, we programmed Terrence’s equipment and readied it for deployment into Walsingham (a different entrance). This required a bit of a hike through Tom Moore’s Jungle, and Jenny and Terrence hit…
August 8, 2008 We had another busy day today! Terrence needed to install some equipment into Crystal Cave – the sister cave to Fantasy and on the same property, so we (Carl, Terrence, Jenny, and Amy) met at the caves this morning and loaded gear into Crystal. Crystal Cave has…
August 7, 2008 We woke bright and early this morning to meet at Fantasy Cave at 7:00 am; though, today is the FIRST time the rooster outside of Amy’s bedroom window decided to sleep IN! Our broadcast host venue today was BUEI – the Bermuda Underwater Explorers’ Institute). After a…
August 6, 2008 We woke this morning to a thunderstorm moving across Bermuda that brought with it a deluge of rain and thunder, which not only made scooter driving a challenge, but threw some logistical hurdles our way in terms of equipment setup and preliminary broadcast tests. Terrence and Amy…
Morning came EARLY today as the two roosters outside of my bedroom were right on time with the 4:30 wake up call that I DIDN’T request. 🙂 Oh well, time to start the day! We agreed to meet at Fantasy Cave at 8:30 to begin our first setup and broadcast…
Now that we are all here and on site, it would probably be helpful to mention all of our team members on this expedition as we are very fortunate to have partnered with Interactive Expeditions (www.intxinc.com) for this really one-of-a-kind experience, and we have some new faces to introduce. Their…
