Time: 1100-1230
Dive Time: 0.6 hrs
Boat/Boat hrs.: LUSCA/0.5 hrs
Personnel: K. Buch (PIMS Staff); N. Malloch (visiting student)

Performed routine cleaning of instruments, lines and chains. No unusual observations other than very poor vis (<20 ft; suspended sediment), most likely due to multiple days of high wind (there appears to be more fine sediment in the area since the 2004 hurricanes)

CMRC/CREWS Field Log

Stick maintenance update-

Date: 28 FEB 05
Time: approx 1700-1730 hrs
Dive time: 20 min.
Divers: Kevin Buch (PIMS/CMRC); Keri Goodman (PIMS Science Intern)
Boat: Lusca
Boat time: 0.5 hrs
Observations: nothing unusual. new Falmouth instruments looked fine, but copper screens on shallow CTD showed light-moderate silting. still need info on how to properly re-position PAM heads after cleaning, as the heads need to be moved for cleaning and the bases also seem to have shifted slightly. also, HOBO light sensor cases are getting pretty fouled-can these be removed for cleaning and then be re-deployed?
