05/31/2013,11:09:20,briankennedy,  First thing this morning we will be conducting a small boat personnel transfer  at Ocean City MD. The plan for the afternoon is to launch the ROV and dive on a gas seep site that we found last week with our multibeam sonar.  
05/31/2013,13:35:21,briankennedy,The plan for the day is to deploy between 1400 and 1430. Then recover at 1830.
05/31/2013,18:53:45,briankennedy,  After a couple days of engineering work the Okeanos Explorer just deployed its new ROV 60 nm east of Virginia. Today’s dive was identified last week during a multibeam survey.  The dive today will be devoted to evaluating modifications to the ROV’s thrusters and hydraulic system and hopefully characterizing the seep site. Due to the late start the dive is expected to be fairly short with an estimated recovery time of 1830 EDT.  The dive site is in about 500 meters

05/31/2013,23:44:24,briankennedy,  The ROV is on deck for the night. We completed the engineering objective for todays dive and confirmed the location of a gas seep field at 417 meters.  Tonight we will be filling in holidays in our multibeam data and transiting to the Middle Tom’s Canyon area for tomorrows dive.   
05/31/2013,23:45:35,briankennedy,The planfor tomorrow is to launch between 0830 and 0930 and recover at 1830
