Erik and I arrived without incident.
We managed to get a boat out before dinner, and we installed the pegs (they are too narrow!) and opened up the cap. Good news is that the surface bic appears ok (120 sample counts in the last 2 hours) due to what appears to be a loose cable. I will probably replace the cable anyhow with one that has screwdowns for the 9 pin serial connector.
The bad news is that there seems to be corrosion going on inside the tube- the salt air is attacking most of the weaker metals on the brain.
Aside from that, it was super windy and the current was whipping as usual- the top of the stick bounces around pretty heavy.
Tomorrow will be a busy day.
Kind regards,
Louis & Erik
