| Specialized tech support (Seabeam, coring, other): Depends when we leave port. As discussed with E. caporelli, I would like to leave in the late afternoon so we arrive on station at dawn (~12 hr steam to site), allowing us to work all day and begin to steam back at dusk. Thus, we would depart at 1700 hr on the 14th and return by 1700 hr on the 16th. If we left in the AM, we would arrive on station at 10 PM and have to work all night, only to be steaming back to port during daylight hours. It is far safer for all involved to be deploying the boxcorer dueign daylight hours. This schedule, of course, depends on the Captain's approval. | |||||||||||
