All of the new crew is great - Bobby and Sean handle the crane and track operations, and they are polite and professional. Michael seems a bit harsh on the surface, but he's a strong leader, and we need this. He's been very open with me and frequently checked on my comfort level during the rock climbing scenes. He's told me that all shots that I'm included in will show me being active, rather than just walking around or sitting and looking. I told him this suits me fine, as I'm most happy when I'm active.
Plaza is really a wonderful place.
I took lots of pictures yesterday. Will plan to give some talks about the islands and the filming when I return. Got another shot at the landing at Plaza and hauled the rest of the gear to the ships. Then cruised the 3 hours to Bartolome. After Caulfield et al. scouted the area, it was decided that the camera crew would shoot some late afternoon stuff from the zodiac while the rest of us started humping the crane and gear to the top of Bartolome.
