Full Validation and Clean 2 May 2012

Due to an unexpected Nor'wester our cleaning of the CREWS station was postponed to and completed on 2nd May.  3 divers started cleaning at 9:15 and finished at 11:00. The GT sensor was installed at 7:50am and removed at 1:30.  Strong current made cleaning difficult near the surface but all was completed.  The sensors, lines, chain, and stick looked to be in good condition with low biofouling, no change on the orientation of the station.  It was noted that there was minimal fire coral present before cleaning.
