MOBY-L158	12-Jun-2008 - 13-Jun-2008	Lanai
Description: MOBY Maintenance Cruise: On 12 June MOBY240 before-cleaning diver calibration scans were completed and underwater photographs were taken. On 13 June MOBY240 sensors were cleaned, and Linux disc maintenance was performed.
Details: I visited the MOBY site on 12 and 13 June 2008 with Steve and Tyler from HRA. We found the buoy to be exceptionally clean and in good condition. On the 12th we took pictures and performed "dirty" cals, 2 Lu sets and 1 Ed set (the second Ed battery was bad). The winds were quite strong on the 13th, in the 20 knot range, even though the forecast was for variable winds, so we were only able to do the cleaning and reinstall the anti-fouling tubes. I arranged with Marco to connect via Internet to the MOBY Linux controller to check disk space and collect some of the saved diagnostic information. Marco had some concern that the Linux system could be filling the disk more rapidly than predicted and wanted to connect to check the system as a precaution. I was at the MOBY site on the 13th, right after his session, to make sure the controller continued to cycle properly after he disconnected or to restart the system if he had a problem. There were no problems, the system functioned properly and the Linux system has plenty of space for the entire deployment. Mark
