Comments

At 5pm local (Davis) time, at the completion of CTD 18 the wire fastening let go as the CTD was being hauled in board and the CTD was lost over the side. The spare has been worked on overnight, anticipate resumption of CTD's 24A and eastward tonight. Retrieved mooring AIS5 this morning, currently on AIS6, just sighted on the surface...an exciting moment in oceanographic science.
