[PSUBS-MAILIST] Project Pilot Fish

[Antoine Delafargue via Personal_Submersibles]

Hello everyone,

we had to abort our trip not far after the beginning, as we detected quite
a lot of carbon monoxide build up in the cabin, and could not find what it
was and how to manage it. it basically reached 300ppm after 10 hours which
is huge. We had brought some catalytic filter to human CO production twenty
times lower than that. So the catalyst filter was not really able to get
the rate down. It is not oxygen pollution.
The sensor may be off but we just did a blood test confirming level a bit
above the normal levels.
that leaves maybe some chemicals like some glue we took in the tool box for
repairs...
 It would have been too dangerous to be at sea with such creeping CO level.

We probably now cannot make it for this tide window. We ll decide tonight
what we do

regards
Antoine
