A False Start

Submitted by Fredrick Prahl on July 27, 2010 - 3:39pm

Loading of Wecoma for the July 2010 CMOP cruise got a late start due to an unexpected drydock delay in Portland.  All gear did get loaded and put in place quite quickly thanks to the abundant help of the MarTech group (Dave^2, Toby and Daryl).  Pushed off from the dock 4 or so hours later than originally planned.  On the way out of the estuary, a problem developed with the bow thruster.  Thought it was a problem with the power supply but no luck.  A swap with a spare proved it still doesn't work.  And so, we just made the turn around and are headed back into dock.  Maybe things will get fixed soon and we will be on our way.  But maybe not.  It's a waiting game.  Stay tuned!
