Cleaning of the CREWS station has been on schedule but the blog has fallen behind the last couple of months. All dates have been blogged. Apart from the cleaning, there is nothing really to report, we have had no storms, so the orientation, the lines, chains and equipment are all doing well. Bio-fouling has been low over the summer, but we have had some fire coral creep in that we are tying to stay on top of.
The GT Sensor was installed at 1pm and cleaning commenced with two divers at 2:10pm. The dive lasted about one and a half hours the instruments were cleaned first then the lines, chain and pole. The GT sensor was removed at the end of the dive. We also replaced the copper filters on the CTD.
