No
update available. It's just a little too bumpy
out here right now. 50 knot winds and the waves are going over the bridge.
0800 WFT; 1000 PST 26°13.91'N, 148 °26.15'W Winds at 33 knots Wow, what a storm! The winds got up to 50 knots last night and the spray from the waves were coming up over the bridge. We all clustered around 1000 hours PST to look for the MIR, if it came down in the Pacific it wasn't near us. The winds have died down slightly but the swells are still pretty good-sized.

Here is the CTD launch from yesterday, those braving the elements are Paul Chua, Darrell Palmer, Dan Chamberlain, and Brian Ackerman.

| The gale that we went through is
heading for the West Coast and it's a big one! Prepare for some rain and
high winds, that's what we got. At least you won't have the ups and downs
and sideways motion that we had last night. The winds are still pretty
high (30 knots). We have passed our scheduled dive station (D7) for the
day and are going to look and see if we can do a CTD station later on this
afternoon. If the weather continues to calm, we may try a ROV dive as
well. The sky is blue and the sun is out and more folks are out and about
today than yesterday.
1330 hours WFT; 1530 hours PST We will be stopping for a CTD station this afternoon. Francisco Chavez has generated a beautiful graphic showing the salinity levels recorded thus far as we have moved from east to west across the Pacific Ocean.
