Behind me a baby's crying and below me the lush rain forest canopy is rushing
past. My trip from Tallahassee to Miami had been easy and the night I stayed
in its outskirts uneventful, but as I fly low over the Yucatan jungle, I know
the next eight days are an adventure about to begin. I keep asking myself,
what's in store? And I still don't know. Team Atlantis has been quiet--like
a sleeping dragon waiting to yawn and rise, to spread its wings and soar
again. It seems the seed planted in Japan two years ago has taken root and
Team Atlantis now has a life of its own, independent of Michael Arbuthnot.
Selflessly, I ask again, what's to come? We have 2 digital video cameras
(VX1000s), a hydrophone, wireless microphone units, nightvision goggles,
communication devices, dive gear, and a plethora of other gadgets courtesy of Chris DeFelice. We are well prepared, but for
what? Only time will tell...
