EGG day 4
Overnight someone had moved Fair Isle from a warm and sunny spot, back to somewhere between Orkney and Shetland; and
the weather had changed to suit - overcast and bit of drizzle.
The coastguard gave out a force 8 gale warning for Viking; one of the team asked which sea area we were in - left as
an exercise for the reader.
The swell on the way out caused a couple of mugs to commit hari kari on the galley floor and made conditions under
the water slightly more interesting than the previous days. On site the viz had dropped to only about 15m.
It should be noted that of items noted as lost - all but one (one of the measuring sticks) had been recovered - the
English were begining to level the score. Add the fact that a swivel gun had been located yesterday and the result
was by no means a foregone conclusion.
And a note to prospective customers: wear something very warm when diving as it can take a looooooonnnnnnnng time to
get picked up!!!
