CMRC basic cleaning 7/25

On 7/25 Jon Fajans and Adam Harrison performed a basic cleaning of CMRC 3.

Macro growth was removed from all lines and chains. CTD screens were checked and are ok. All zincs were checked. The missing zinc on the shallow CTD was replaced. The loose zinc on one mooring chain has corroded itself back into place and is secure. It was decided that we would leave that zinc in place until it completely wares out.

Jon Fajans checked the immediate area for signs of coral bleaching and found none.

Next scheduled cleaning is on or about 8/4 and is a full cleaning/groundtruthing.

Many apologies for the delay in posting this.
