Complete Cleaning in January
A complete cleaning (CTD validation, cleaned all sensors, chains, lines, and spar) at the CREWS Station in La Parguera, Puerto Rico, was done Thursday , January 20th, 2011 by Wessley Merten. The groundtruth validation sensor was placed at 1:30 and was removed at 17:00. All surface and subsurface sensors were standing proud to the sea. All rigging, lines, baseplates, sensors, and the spar were cleaned which left the station looking great. The only hang up was that I was physically unable to unscrew three of the four "screen holders" on the CTD's. During the next basic clean I'm going to bring a tool to aid in carefully and properly unscrewing the covering to remove and replace the old screens.
