The Keldysh picked up the transponders and at 16:15 we left the wreck site. At 16:30 the last commemoration was held for the victims of the loss of the Bismarck.
The Keldysh was now on its way to the Azores (group of islands belonging to Portugal). I went to bed at 03:00 in the morning. Saturday 8. June 2002: I got out of bed at 07:00. I spent most of the morning watching film recordings from dive 6. At 11:00 photos of all Mir divers were taken.
The rest of the day I spent relaxing. I went to bed at 02:00 in the morning. Sunday 9. June 2002: I got out of bed at 11:00.
