Some of the week's events were:

The port call, although very busy, went well. The Trace Metal Clean
Rosette from the R/V NATHANIEL PALMER arrived from McMurdo and was
assembled and tested by Corey Peterson.

The SEASOAR winch and system was set up on the fantail.

The SIO Lab  Van for the Mitchell/Stramski group was placed on the
fantail.

The incubator tables were moved back up to the foredeck.

The MLML Clean Van was secured on the stbd main deck as on Survey I.

Repairs to the Markey winch were completed.

All in all, things went very well with a great deal of cooperation from
all hands.
