Feb. 29, 2008: Cruise canceled by P.I. due to failure of MARS cable node. Jan. 10, 2008: Meeting with science team. Cruise will be run Seattle to Seattle, thereby canceling previous version's San Diego port call and de-mobe day there. Day count now is: 3.5 days transit each way=7 days, plus 19 science days for 26 total. (Mobe and De-mobe days at home port are non-charge.)

Notes: Jun. 10, 2008: Prior Plant cruise will end at Pier 91, downtown on the afternoon/evening of 17 August. Personnel for Howe cruise will board downtown, on the morning of the 18th, re-visit their buoy, then return on board the ship to the U.W. dock the evening of the 19th. Mar. 21, 2008: Service visit to ALOHA buoy in its test deployment location in Puget Sound. Dates may be adjusted a day or two in either direction as required by mobilization for the next cruise. Feb. 29, 2008: Cruise canceled by P.I. due to failure of MARS cable node. Seven transit days (3.5 days each way to/from Seattle) are shown. This assumes that mobilization/demobilization will take place in Seattle and the cruise depart from there.

Notes: Academic calendar constraints apply. Revelle will do the JASON work in the Atlantic, then offload the ROV on the East Coast on August 9th. A week is then allocated for transport to Seattle, with an arrival and load-out on ship on or about August 23rd. Four days allowed to mobe JASON at home port Seattle (at no charge) before departure for Hawaii. (This educational cruise will not use JASON, but the following cruise will: loading in Seattle before departure to Hawaii saves shipping costs and time.)

Jan. 14, 2008: Add one-day engineering dive for JASON as per conversation with L. Goad and E. Capporelli. When Thompson arrives in Hawaii after educational cruise, this includes three days to mobe science. (JASON already on board, delivered by the ship from the U.S. West Coast.)

Jan 14, 2008: Conference call with Alan Hilton, NOAA-PMEL and L. Goad, NSF agrees to this cost share on the transit. Take JASON from Hawaii at the end of the Moyer NSF cruise, and transit to Suva.
