MOBY-L72	24-Sep-2001 - 03-Oct-2001	Lanai
Description: MOBY replacement cruise via R/V K.O.K.: MOBY218 was loaded aboard ship early the morning of 24 September 2001 and deployed late that afternoon in the lee of Lanai - adverse wind conditions prevented deployment operations at the MOBY mooring site. The morning of 25 September was also too windy to exchange MOBY217 and 218 but both instruments acquired optical profiles under clear sky at the mooring site concurrent with a ship-deployed Fiber Optic System (FOS) profile. Calm winds that afternoon allowed MOBY218 to be moored, 217 to be put under tow, and 217s flopper-stoppers retrieved. MOBY217 was retrieved in the morning of 26 September in the lee of Lanai. That afternoon, Mark Yarbrough and Michael Ondrusek (NOAA/QSS) worked with HRA on MOBY218 diver reference lamp scans and WARS deployment while the rest of the K.O.K. science crew made bio-optical measurements concurrent with the MODIS overpass.
