CREWS Station Complete Cleaning in January
A complete cleaning (CTD validation, replaced all brass screens, cleaned all instruments, chains, lines, and spar = tower) at the CREWS Station in La Parguera, Puerto Rico, was done Friday, January 15th, 2009 by Wessley Merten and Duane Sanabria. The validation CTD was placed at 8:45am and was removed at 12:15pm. All surface and subsurface sensors were visibly intact. All rigging, lines, baseplates, sensors, and the spar are very clean. Atop the spar, two boobies were persistent on keeping their vantage point over their fishing grounds.
