There I retrieved my big MacBook Pro from a storage cubby, set it up on my yet unmade bunk, and uploaded the camera data on what was left on the rather more fragile big Mac's 250GB drive (not much).
But the 64GB solid state drive on the Handheld Algiz XRW rugged and waterproof netbook I'd taken along on the trip and used on the dive deck was almost full, and so I had to get out of my 7-mil wetsuit, dry off, and go downstairs to our cabin which was functional but very small indeed. The SD storage cards on my Canon and GoPro HD vidcam in their underwater housings were nearly full and needed to be offloaded in time for the next dive. On the dive around the rock we saw dozens of white tip sharks, silkies, a Galapagos shark or two, morays and more maritime wildlife than I'd seen on any single dive. So there we are, about 300 nautical miles due west of Cabo San Lucas, on the 110-foot live-aboard expedition vessel Solmar V, just having finished a rather challenging scuba dive at Roca Partida, a solitary twin rock poking out of the water by about 90 feet in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
