The second day of production started very early for some of the crew, needing to board the R/V Suncoaster for a midnight departure from the USF/CMS dock. Bunking four to a room, they tried to get some shut-eye on the transit out of Tampa Bay in order to get offshore and arrive on station to service buoys starting at dawn. Their morning started with a quick breakfast and then attended a meeting on the operational procedures. One of the cameramen commented that it sure was a “manly boat” after hearing the potential hazards to avoid during a safety briefing.
