First, congratulations on a fascinating project and an informative Web page. We are new to the Internet and as regular PBS viewers, we headed there first, which, naturally, led us to your NOVA Web page. Fascinating—just fascinating!!

Second, congratulations to the crew of the Tully for successfully helping the crew of the Ocean Roamer. That was definitely a case of being "in the right place at the right time!"

Third, thanks to the NOVA team and the expedition crew for helping bring another fascinating expedition closer to us (the general public). Oh, to be able to pack up and join an adventure such as this! But, since we cannot, this is the next best thing!

We anxiously await the next dispatch!!

Thank you!

Congratulations on your successful retrieval of the black smoker chimney called "Phang," and thank you for letting us all be a part of this excitement by living it through your dispatches and pictures. We wish you the same success with more retrievals and anxiously await the findings of your studies and your safe return to port.
