08/08/2011,00:11:36,Chris German,I'm here on line, CTD on its way down
08/08/2011,00:18:23,Chris German,Chris here logging back in from control room
08/08/2011,00:22:55,Bobbie,did you receive the dive coordinates for tomorrow am ?
08/08/2011,00:23:54,Chris German,No - what format - email?
08/08/2011,00:24:01,Chris German,Checking that now...
08/08/2011,00:24:11,Bobbie,yes
08/08/2011,00:24:28,Bobbie,sent 7:04 your time
08/08/2011,00:24:59,Chris German,Start 3450m 81 degrees 49.138 minutes         18degrees 20.155mins
08/08/2011,Waypoint 3040m 81 degrees 49.296 mins         18 degress 20.666 mins
08/08/2011,Continue uphill from there
08/08/2011,00:25:05,Chris German,Gottem - thanks!
08/08/2011,00:25:33,Bobbie,OK we're good for now…off to dinner..will read email later...
08/08/2011,00:27:07,Chris German,OK, 600m from the seafloor - typing a diveplan fast before we crash :)
08/08/2011,00:36:44,sarahbennett,Poor PC - it's feeling pushed out by the Mac and decided to crash on me!
08/08/2011,00:44:47,Chris German,Can you here me? We should have 2 x cameras and CTD trace working?
08/08/2011,00:44:55,Chris German,Sorry HEAR me?
08/08/2011,00:47:32,Chris German,Sarah sarah sarah???
08/08/2011,00:49:40,Chris German,OK - for when you get back - no signals at all (except slight bend in LSS from 2200-2400m) in downcast, 2 miles SW from Von Damm & 1 mile NE of Europa = potentially a result = 2 distinct methane sources with backgroudn in between.  Soon as the folks you can see on camera screwing me around by practising for show and tell 2 days from now we'll be VERY ecited about this
08/08/2011,00:50:07,sarahbennett,hello
08/08/2011,00:50:27,Chris German,Hey - check the camera feed - can you see me among 7 other people :)
08/08/2011,00:51:27,sarahbennett,why were you swearing at people?
08/08/2011,00:52:06,sarahbennett,yeah - it's crowded
08/08/2011,00:52:10,Chris German,I am surrounded by 6 people in dark shirts climbing all over my corner of the control van while Elaine and I are trying to manage the CTD 20m off bottom
08/08/2011,00:52:54,Chris German,They are still there and every time they mess with the camera lighting FOR 2 DAYS FROM NOW they make all our computer screens go darker or brighter = really quite trying (as we English like to understate)
08/08/2011,00:53:06,sarahbennett,sucks
08/08/2011,00:53:17,Chris German,We're aiming for 1 sample for methane every 100m from bottom (2400m) up to 1900m
08/08/2011,00:53:24,sarahbennett,so you're going to fire bottles
08/08/2011,00:53:25,sarahbennett,ok
08/08/2011,00:53:36,Chris German,Sucks = part of a regular day on the EX, I'm learning
08/08/2011,00:53:37,sarahbennett,and move on as planned?
08/08/2011,00:53:44,sarahbennett,:-(
08/08/2011,00:53:54,sarahbennett,How can you say that after such a great dive?
08/08/2011,00:54:50,Chris German,Bottles - yeah - we get samples for methane to confirm background after the event (Cameron) and then move off to tow-yo back to NE toward Von Damm to try and pick up that plume, hoping like hell there is a different plume at Europa that we're leaving behind us
08/08/2011,00:55:09,Chris German,After "such a great dive" = I didn't get to see much
08/08/2011,00:55:43,sarahbennett,:-(
08/08/2011,00:56:50,sarahbennett,Currents changing?
08/08/2011,01:04:53,Chris German,I'm back… Could be currents changing but preferred answer is that we are between two sources and ther is a disconnect in their plumes
08/08/2011,02:23:11,kelleyelliott,Update from the ship: the high-speed connection to shore is down. video and ship-to-shore communications are currently NOT working.

08/08/2011,12:26:57,kelleyelliott,Correction - the dive today will be conducted on the South Flank of Mount Dent. Today's dive plan can be found on the Okeanos Explorer Portal under Current Cruise - Daily Operations - 2011-08-08
08/08/2011,13:24:04,keeleybelva,Good morning from Rhode Island--we have a few more people joining from here today, mostly from WHOI.  
08/08/2011,13:40:09,Chris German,Yay - Little Herc is in the water, Seirios about to go in.  Are you ready for some rocks, people???
08/08/2011,13:41:50,Chris German,Mike - just saw the dive image come in - thanks!
08/08/2011,13:42:04,juliehuber,love rocks Chris!
08/08/2011,13:43:27,mikecheadle,Rocks? Fingers crossed.......   If we find 'em..  would be great to sample with Jason II
08/08/2011,13:44:09,keeleybelva,Can someone up the ROV feed, por favor?
08/08/2011,13:44:48,Bobbie,…..any time.  Exciting for us rock folks - I know the bio folks wont be impressed, but we're ready to go and find things
08/08/2011,13:44:50,Chris German,If you havent seen todays plan it is on the portal - Keeley can help in RI hopefully?
08/08/2011,13:45:04,Bobbie,we've got it
08/08/2011,13:45:15,Chris German,Can't ask help for ROV yet - those guys are busy doing their critical get it in the water safely thing
08/08/2011,13:45:19,juliehuber,Microbes eat rocks, you know...
08/08/2011,13:46:02,Chris German,Mike - can you put the image you sent in the portal somewhere too?  For future dives we can try and get that into the dive plan if we have time (big if, I know)
08/08/2011,13:46:26,Chris German,Amazing how little time we get when pushing back the frontiers of science at 0.2kts
08/08/2011,13:50:10,mikecheadle,Chris, will upload into portal
08/08/2011,13:58:30,mikecheadle,All. Added 3-D perspective with approx dive track to dive plan on Portal (hpe that was OK Kelley)
08/08/2011,13:59:19,Chris German,OK - wil also email now - gave WYOI a plug in the process - just slurping coffee, will be on the line any second now...
08/08/2011,14:02:28,mikecheadle,Just let us pick the rest of the dives...:)
08/08/2011,14:10:40,Bobbie,Chris - cool and thanks
08/08/2011,14:10:58,mikecheadle,Chris, can you sell my used car?
08/08/2011,14:14:00,Chris German,And I hardly need to recommend a good lawyer :)
08/08/2011,14:14:22,Chris German,But I hear there is a real need for me either in DC or Realty???
08/08/2011,14:14:47,Chris German,(But not reality)
08/08/2011,14:22:20,Chris German,Mike and Bobbie (or others) - what should the plan be for tinight's mapping?
08/08/2011,14:23:27,mikecheadle,I would extend the Mt Dent Mapping to the west... more detail in e-mail
08/08/2011,14:23:31,Bobbie,so what did we accomplish last night - finished E of Mt Dent and up to Piccard ?
08/08/2011,14:23:41,Chris German,Meme and I are looking at what we can do within 6 hours from here that will be most useful - we can either extend our block further south to follow the same features we can already see (N-S ridges) out of the bottom left corner
08/08/2011,14:25:25,Chris German,Yes - we have coverage that is continuous across the southern end of Mt Dent all the way out to around 5000m (firt valley floor) and West down to 4500m - atuclaly, I'm asking Meme if we csn find a way to project what is on its way ashore now so we can all take a lok together
08/08/2011,14:26:11,Bobbie,maybe laod it onto your screen and we can look over your shoulder as you point to things
08/08/2011,14:26:59,Chris German,Exactly - just need a pair of video folks and we'll be there… 
08/08/2011,14:27:09,Bobbie,where did it go ?
08/08/2011,14:27:20,Chris German,Should be on Tx 3 by now, I'm heading for a headset
08/08/2011,14:27:39,Chris German,While trying to read email on the way - should have mike's message open any minute now

08/08/2011,20:20:42,Bobbie,maybe
08/08/2011,20:20:45,Chris German,Soze of pockmark here = 1-2m across (Little Herc is 1m across, for scale, in Seirios view right now)
08/08/2011,20:21:09,Chris German,Depth of pockmark looks like 1m deep or so
08/08/2011,20:21:26,Chris German,Speaks to thick (hence long) sedimentation period
08/08/2011,20:21:46,Diva Amon,HOL
08/08/2011,20:21:51,Chris German,Upper ocean productivity here is pretty poor (not a lot of good fishing/upper ocean)
08/08/2011,20:22:20,Chris German,So 1cm/thousand years seems reasonable estimate (ball-prak) = open Atlantic rate
08/08/2011,20:22:23,Bobbie,gravel and lareg angular rocks at bottom of some fo the large pocks
08/08/2011,20:22:32,mikecheadle,rocks at bottom pf pock marks
08/08/2011,20:23:10,Chris German,Absoluetly zilch on Seirios sonar right now
08/08/2011,20:23:30,Chris German,View from LH right now = meteorite impact ;)
08/08/2011,20:25:29,jamesonclarke,deep sea crop circles.
08/08/2011,20:25:32,jamesonclarke,that's my guess.
08/08/2011,20:25:42,Bobbie,oh welll……..I did put the end at 3050m
08/08/2011,20:26:05,Diva Amon,ASR
08/08/2011,20:26:48,mikecheadle,top of sed ridge
08/08/2011,20:26:51,jamesonclarke,POR
08/08/2011,20:27:24,Diva Amon,HOL
08/08/2011,20:27:25,jamesonclarke,HOL
08/08/2011,20:27:27,jamesonclarke,GORG
08/08/2011,20:28:02,mikecheadle,Looks like we on a big flat on the corrulations
08/08/2011,20:28:45,Bobbie,looks like it is getting late….shock of paragraph writing go to Dr Cheadle
08/08/2011,20:30:20,mikecheadle,off bottom
08/08/2011,20:32:03,Bobbie,from the bathy, looks like 2950m is where the wall begins again….
08/08/2011,20:33:12,Bobbie,again, sorry for the elay in mud, but rocks do exist out there...honest
08/08/2011,20:34:19,Chris German,Nice drive for today gang - good driving from Rhode Island, Bobbie
08/08/2011,20:35:22,Chris German,I thought those layered rocks - and seeing the flat fault surface early in the dive too - was really cool
08/08/2011,20:35:49,Chris German,Shame we have to go look for vents again tomorrow but what the hell - hopefully the rocks will still be there on Weds :)
08/08/2011,20:59:23,Sarah Bennett,I can hear you!
08/08/2011,21:00:16,Sarah Bennett,yes
08/08/2011,21:00:22,Sarah Bennett,I'm here
08/08/2011,21:02:21,mikecheadle,slacker
08/08/2011,21:02:53,Sarah Bennett,yep
08/08/2011,21:02:57,Sarah Bennett,:-(
08/08/2011,21:09:24,Sarah Bennett,That's good :-)
08/08/2011,21:17:10,jamesonclarke,great dive!
08/08/2011,21:17:18,Sarah Bennett,Great!  Thanks
08/08/2011,21:18:21,Bobbie,send on any example sof a dive report as soon as possible -thanks
