A dark and stormy night

Daily Report from Anthony Johnson
090509_V1_DR_MGL.pdf
Each day goes by now more or less routinely.  The airgun array has been performing well, with only minor issues (e.g., loss of one 120 cu in. gun) that are resolved at line changes.  Today is hump day on the cruise.  Weather was a bit sloppy last night and earlier today as a well-devloped low pressure system passed to the south of us.  This evening the sun is out and the breeze, from the NW, is cool.  We are expecting decent weather the next 3-4 days, during which we will complete the crustal grid, start and complete the vent field grid and then move on to repeat the undershoot lines.
