Data aquisition was turned off on the 13th or 14th.Mark got the KOK. Darryl flew out to Hawaii. And the MOBY team loaded the ship and headed out to recover the buoy and mooring on the 15th of April.The buoy was recovered on the 16th. Mike send photos showing some issues with the Es collectors. They where covered in bird crap.The photos also showed some damage to the FO channel between the top & mid arms.
