The whole Sunday afternoon I was thinking "Should I go out... or not?". The weather was just at the limit and some colleagues went out, but I decided not to go and wait for today. The forecast was very good, but when I looked out the window this morning, it was still windy and there were waves with crests on the cove.

But instead of having again a day like Sunday afternoon, I decided to go out and give it at least a try. Half an hour later and after five minutes in the boat I was regretting my decision. It was a bumpy ride to our study area and lots of water was coming into the zodiac. I stuffed the plugs for the equipment inside my survival suit and Vero and Ale, who are working with me, were stopping me from opening the zarges box with the electronic equipment to check if everything is okay inside - I was really not happy at all. But the conditions on the northern side of the cove turned out to be not as bad as I thought and after a short test run, we were able to record some pretty interesting images. See below...
