Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

watching the ti(m)e roll away... Well, the skinny is that we are now back at the HMSC dock (~1700, July 27) and there is a significant problem with some aspect of the ship's PLC, or programmable logic control, that commands operation of the bow thruster. The solution is not yet in sight, but they are working diligently on it. In the meantime, we have delayed any consideration of leaving for scientific inquiry purposes until 1000 on Wednesday, July 28. I will BLOG again when I feel I can do more than speak in tongues.
