14 Sep 2008 - R/V Wecoma (W0809B) - Leg 1

Continued CTD stations mapping out the "squirt".
Stations: SR-55, SR-65, SR-75, SR-85 (casts 534 thru 537).
No cast was done at NH-65 to save time.

Proceeded from NH-65 to NH-10 for mooring operations starting about 1300 local.

NH-10 mooring:
* temperature/conductivity instruments attached to Spectra line using black tape and special pipe wrap tape. This operation was done laying the entire Spectra line on the deck.
* The fluorometer/backscatter sensor frame (Tim Cowles) was attached with modified Walt's clamps.
* Lodgepole was lifted by the crane and released on the starboard side.
* The Spectra with instruments attached were hand fed through the A-frame as the ship moved very slowly.
* The chain at the end was fed by using two slip lines.
* The anchor was lowered to the bottom using Walt's hook, which releases when anchor is on the bottom and tension goes to zero.

Mooring deployed at 2221 UTC day 258 (Sept 14) at
44 deg 37.93 N; 124 deg 18.19 W in water of depth 81.5m

The ADP mooring was deployed using trawl wire and Walt's hook too. ADP deployed at 2258 UTC day 258 (Sept 14) at
44 deg 38.43 N; 124 deg 18.27 W in water of depth 82.8 m.

Proceed to NH-3 as requested by Wiley Evans for his CO2 system. Then turned around and headed back out NH line.

Devised a radiator pattern for sampling the squirt with some north-south lines:

NH-25, SR-25, SH-S1, SH-S2, SR-S1, NH-40, NH-55, SR-55, SH-S3, SH-S4, SR-S2, NH-70, NH-85, SR-85 (casts 538-551).

Completed NH-25, SR-25, SH-S1 before midnight.

Note: again some new station names.
