complete cleaning

[From an email from Diana Beltran, November 18, 2013 5:02 PM EST.]

Last Wednesday November 13/13, we made complete cleaning station. We started connecting the CTD at 8:05 am, then start cleaning at 10:10 am (sensors, center pole, and chains). We completed cleaning at 10:55 am. Then at 1:40 pm we picked up the CTD.

The sensors were all covered with filamentous algae. The chains and the central column were partially covered with Bivalves, sponges, filamentous algae, some corals, etc.
