We all think we’re different in the beginning

Wow - Yolanda’s Mozambican Princess foremother’s story sounds like an amazing tale to share!

Laughing a bit reading the description of what happens to find these shipwrecks - a much abbreviated version of what was in R’s diss which detailed the methodology and the science of the sonar etc tech and the shifting sea bottom. I don’t remember details sadly, but I recognize the shape of it. What would she be doing now I wonder? Still researching off Ghana perhaps

So much in ocean and beyond. I so want to be doing this with her
But how I wish I could write an application for /anything/ on a moment’s notice

This is overwhelming betwn the wow + then moments of fear of ocean diving + then thinking how Rachel wld be right there if she was still here + then the writer’s own feelings of wanting to be able to do this + trying to prepare - she’s rushing something that is exciting but could be dangerous if not done thoroughly. And I remember R talking about the sea being even more difficult near these shipwrecks o’course

Trying not to get distracted thinking of R lost and gone from this work and this world how many years now
A good beginning though
