Forward compartment
|
 Routine
goes on, we stay in our beds, some play station / movies. Atmosphere
stable, CO2 and oxygen levels are within limits. Some of the crew is
starting to get a cold. Geofjord, a Norwegian vessel chartered by UK Navy
as the mother ship for the British rescue submarine LR5, will deliver a
POD later today ( a POD is a water/pressure proof container used to
deliver supplies to distressed submarines).
|
Aft compartment
|
| Yesterday we received antibiotics for 2 crewmembers via POD from HNOMS
Tyr. They have not responded to the medicine as expected and will be
evacuated by the Swedish rescue submarine URF later today. We have sent
request for pizza and entertainment to Belos, the mother ship of URF on
the underwater telephone.

Noon
|
Forward compartment
|
| No new information from the submarine, but Geofjord confirmed delivery of
POD containing newspapers and cake to the forward compartment. Due to the
experiment, and daily intake of 1kJ (emergency rations) the supervisors of
the experiment (also participating) may not give permission to eat the
cake.
|
Aft compartment
|
| The URF connected to the rescue hatch, and the chef from Belos served pizza to all crewmembers in the aft compartment, a good change from the emergency rations we have eaten while down here. The request for entertainment gave us the famous Belos “GO GO Girl”, a rescue doll dressed in sexy underwear. The two crewmembers with infections were evacuated when URF disconnected and returned to the surface. The Geofjord has reported two matings between Utsira and LR5, and POD delivery in the afternoon.
