MOBY-L168	13-Mar-2009 - 13-Mar-2009	Lanai
Description: MOBY Maintenance Cruise: On 13 March MOBY242 underwater photographs were taken, two Ed diver calibrations scan sets were completed, and the anti-fouling tubes were re-charged.
Details: Steve is still on themainland for sea trials on his new boat. Nick and Tyler and me went to the buoy. Weather was kind of cold and bouncy and windy on the way out but cleared up soon after we got out to the buoy. We hooked up to the buoy and plugged in and the computer started right up after the switch was toggled. Tyler took some pictures and retrieved the anti-foulant tubes. We did two sets of Eds. The timing was a little off and the lamp wasnt in place when the first scan was collected so I did an extra scan for each BOTED. It appears we may be down to one calibration lamp battery, #61. I charged two others but when I tried them out the lamp looked way dim so I just used the one good one. After the calibrations the collectors were cleaned, tubes were recharged and replaced, and I downloaded some files. We got back to Mala around 3:30. The weather buoy is missing one anemometer so I guess that could be considered bad news after all. I should be back to Oahu tomorrow, Saturday, and Ill transfer the files on Monday unless someone is anxious to see them before. Theyll be in the usual ftp directory. I am going to try to bring back all the supplies we left over here with me. Terry
