1128: To Ted Waitt, Unhappy To Report
We have not found a good target in the time remaining. Ginger came up at 5 a.m., and both analysts were up to look at the data. No joy. We are popping the Deep Ocean Transponders (DOTs) and getting ready to head back to Samoa. With yesterday’s floater, we were unable to complete the last two boxes in C. I’m damned unhappy that we couldn’t bring it home to you, Ted.
