Cleaned 8 legs/chains-spectra-lashings, only soft growth found.
Station in very good condition - lack of accumulated biofouling.
Ongoing cleaning efforts working well.
Many plastic ties brittle, breaking , and need replacement.
Groundtruthing schedule:
0845.............Connected groundtruth CT
0900 - 1000...Transmitting period
1015 - 1045...Cleaned sensors
1000 - 1200...Transmitting period
1215.............Disconnect CT
1300.............Normal transmit begins
Notes:
Need some sort of zinc(?) protection for all 8 upper links of galv. chain touching SS shackles- accelerated deterioration noted.
Two temporary white warning floats attached to legs 2 & 6. Original yellow floats probably stolen. Bahamian smallboats cutting close to pylon at high speed, even when work crew present with dive flag.

AOML Diver Maintenance Check
CMRC/LSI Operations Monday, Jan.23, 2006
J. Craynock and H. Casanova to Georgetown, 2 red boxes, 2 gear duffels.
Bahamian Customs clearance quick, shuttle ready at airport
New CMRC boat (Parker) covered – good for transfer- E. Mueller
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2006
Onstation at 0930. Slight current. Chop and swell present.
Tied off to mooring buoy.
Examined PAM fluorometer, took u/w pic’s prior to disassembly.
Moved boat to pylon, surfaced pressure case, detached main cable & plugged.
Coiled plugged cable to lower pylon and bundled.
Began cleaning of spectra legs and lower pylon.
Dive 1 20ft./40min. Dive 2 21ft./ 65 min.
Noticeable growth on all lashings, lashings not cleaned for last 6 (?) months
Noted chaffing points on pylon, repaired with rubber patch and tied.
Removed brackets from pylon.
Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2006
Onstation at 0915. Attached CT for groundtruthing.
Cleaned remaining legs and chains.
Installed new screens on CT, new zincs.
Dive 1 21ft./38min.
Departed station at 1130.
Returned to station at 1300.
1320 – removed CT, plugged and coiled cable.
1330 – departed station.
Returned to station at 1930, night, Brenda Gadd aboard.
Ran approaches to station to investigate light shadowing.
Definite shadow areas for light from southern approach.
Recommendations for improvement noted.
Returned to CMRC Dock 2010.
