Note:
(1) Eight-shooter did not respond to the computer,
used the back-up six-shooter instead.
(2) Had very good weather and calm seas for most
of the trip. The wind picket up on the 6th of April
and we had some big swell the last couple of days.
This can be seen in the quality of the last XBT
deployments.
