first time out



Emerald Bay had to be the first spot we go to... left in the morning because did not want to do a night crossing while being first out with the rebuilt v's. The crossing actually was very rough for the morning, usually it is a lot more calm. Anyway I took it easy and everything seemed fine except for the air vents on the boxes. They were leaking oil out. After looking at them I decided that the routing was such that no oil could drip back to the case and that is why oil was spewing out of them. On the way back, again instead of rough conditions (because it is always rougher in the late afternoon) we had almost nothing as far as movement. About 10NM out we had the dolphins welcoming us back in the circulation. Everything was fine on the way back.
