Friday, Nov. 28th at 11am, I will be appearing on “The Good American” on WEMF (http://wemfradio.com/shows/the-good-american/) in Boston, Massachusetts for an interview.

I hope you’ll all join us as we share details about what we do and how it all started. I’ll be speaking about the recent projects and expeditions we’ve been working on, including our current work on the H.F. Payton and OpenROV!

Also check out our latest update on the progress of the ROV build and the H.F Payton Expedition at OpenExplorer!

Our weekend started off great when found what we believe might be the original Granite Monster. We met with my brother Steve and discussed the issue of the block being upside down. When we hit problems like this Steve always seems to be able to pull a solution out of his hat, and as usual he did. We have made plans to lift up the corner of the granite block using special tools suited for difficult jobs. With the block tightly seat on a bed of small rocks, difficult is an understatement. If ll goes well we’ll soon be able to see if we found the correct granite block.

We updated the rep from the Lighthouse museum on what we found. We also shared our recent 3D model we did of the blocks on the rocky shoreline. He liked the model so much he is interested in using them on a touch screen kiosk they have at the museum. We’re now shopping around for a tool that will host and display the models for the museum visitors interact with and enjoy.

The OpenROV(#1517) arrived today! This kit was provided by David Lang and Eric Stackpole at OpenROV (http://www.openrov.com), and made possible by a sponsorship from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (http://www.moore.org). I’d like to thank them again for supporting our expedition!
