The ROV has been recovered and is on deck, and is currently conducting mapping operations (including subbottom until 2200) en route to tomorrow's ROV dive location. Tomorrow's dive is planned for USGS Hazards 2, to investigate the transition from canyon processes to landslide deposition whithin Veatch Canyon. We are expecting questionable weather tomorrow (4-7 foot seas and 25 knot winds). We plan to make a deecision whether to dive by 7:45am. If the weather gods co-operate, we plan to launch the ROV at 0830 tomorrow morning.
