Comments

Completed Station 2,including 5 hours pumping from the McLane pumps, two more CTD casts to 1000 m, and two RMT casts. Departed station 2 at 0400. Arrive station 3 at 1100. Deploy CTD to 1000 m and optical instruments off the trawl deck. Now at station 4 starting to ping for the pulse mooring. The suspense is building as all eyes are searching for the surface buoys. Stanley the bears eyes are sorely missed.
