subject:Waiting for the last drop
Hi Pedro,

It is okay to wait until tomorrow. However, if it is too much trouble because of these additional deployments, I am totally fine to stop now.

    Hi Shenfu,

    Zach says that they are likely going to be drifting until tomorrow.
    Will the measurements be good enough if he waits
    until tomorrow? If that's too long of a wait, I can tell him to stop and start breaking down the gear.

    Thanks,

    Pedro

        Hi Pedro,

        Thank you Pedro for the information!

        In the past, normally the deployments stopped around 5.7 W. I would have suggested to stop, but I just did a quick check on the transports from previous sections, it can give 1 Sv transport. For this reason, I prefer to have a few more drops. However, if it takes too long for the port entry, it is okay to stop now.

        Best,
        Shenfu

            Hi Gustavo,

            Is it o.k. to end the cruise at this point?

            Thank you,

                    Hello Gustavo and Francis,

                    It seems that AX07 has stopped just outside of the strait
                    ans Zach has paused deployment. Here is the message he sent.

                    "Early this morning we came to a stop to wait for our entry time to port.

                    For now, I have paused deployments and plan to resume once we start going again.

                    If for some reason this is close enough, I will stop entirely and start breaking down the system.

                    But I'd need some confirmation of that."

                    Should he wait for the last drop location?

                    it looks like the last drop was at

                    035.84 N 007.02 W

                    Thanks,

                    Pedro
