Week 8 - the long and winding road

Week eight was a long week. We began with a day focused on Pt. Adams, where we began the fabrication for the surface level at the station. I also worked on the part of my meta-data project that outlines the maintenance process at Pt. Adams. On Tuesday we went to CBNC3 to see if the seabed CT could be coerced into communicating, apparently though, it didn’t feel like it. So after that we went back out to Pt. Adams to work on installing the surface station. Wednesday was spent working with the radio link system as there was a mutiny among the SWAP Nodes. Thursday also saw its share of communication issues but we finally got the Thermistor installed at Pt. Adams. Finally, Friday saw us in.

I attended a doctoral thesis defense and one of the intern’s final presentations. Both were interesting and well worth attending. More next week!!
