Title: Update Delayed; TIGHAR HQ Without Power
Post by: Bill Mangus on June 24, 2015, 11:54:58 AM: I've copied the following from Pat at TIGHAR HQS, Oxford, PA via Facebook:

"I probably will not be able to put anything up on the website today. Violent t-storms ripped through here yesterday evening and we are still without power. I will put something brief here on Facebook and a full report when the power is back on."

Storms were bad here in Northern VA also.

Or at least, "You've found me... now leave me alone."

Post by: Bill Mangus on June 25, 2015, 02:49:07 PM: I'm guessing the power is still out. Chester County (Oxford) PA got smacked pretty good according to their local news. Several major transmission towers down. I think Pat's cell phone has probably died by not (another guess).

By 2 p.m. everyone was aboard except the ROV team, who worked until sunset. Nai’a was underway by 6 p.m. Seas were moderate and expected to remain so for another day or so; but the closer they draw to Fiji the rougher the weather is going to be. We may not be able to get a good satellite link but if possible I will track their progress here.

is it meant that Ric is returning via the Betchart ship, or is that from Pat's perspective?
