October 12 - Lake Baikal

A long day on the lake with very little action. The highlight was the occasional stop along the way to take a plankton sample. Tomorrow -- weather permitting -- the divers will go out gathering mollusks, which promises to be more interesting.

The lake is impressive. With it's vast surface and surging waters it actually feels more like we are at sea than on a lake. The water was calm most of the day, but in the evening the boat was rolling around pretty good, at least more than I cared for. After a couple of hours editing photos I started feeling a little green and decided I better retire to my bunk before I embarrassed myself in front of the crew.
