A laid back Saturday

Nick, your Saturday was pretty easy. You slept quite late by your standards (1030), this was a very good thing as you had felt pretty sick the night before. Upon waking you felt much more rested and not as sick.

You sat down to write a blog post around 1130, and you took about 45 minutes to write up the first draft of the Float V2 - Spool half. Later on Josef and Travis edited, added pictures to, and posted that blog post.

Around 1315 all four of you met up at Travis's house. You worked on video streaming again, getting quite close to a solution. You and Liam also looked for waterproof lock boxes that could store the electronics in the submersible. This proved impossible as there were none with the right sizes that were also rated to any depth greater than 100ft.

With that in mind you started thinking about other possible ways to water proof the electronics. You decided to get some o-rings from McMaster as well as latches. You plan to use these to test a couple possible answers, and if one works to make the final version sometime in the next week and a half.

Along with that you got some things from McMaster for the float, the LED heat sinks, and Mr. Amory's kids down at Baxter Academy.

Lastly you went to the Middle School's production of the musical Annie at the Mast Landing School.

All in all it was a laid back day and you feel very recovered after being tired, sore, and sick due to yesterday's frisbee game against Cumberland.
