0825 In the water
0900 Run 5 minutes of 3-chip camera and replay: looks ok
0930 On bottom very close to 4900 6050 target
0930-0938 Adjust Mesotech settings
0939 35mm cameras on and Mesotech set to 30 degrees, fast and gain of 15
0941 still getting neutral over sediment covered lobates)
0944 4513,6467 bad fix?
0951 still trimming, 4871, 6081 z2193 h186
0956 Mesotech set for 30 degree, fast and 20m display
0957 Begin traverse to R target, hding 161, sediment covered basalt
1000 Observe Kim's camera, hding 205 4869,6038
1006 Good 3-chip overflight of camera site
1017 Approaching Y marker, settle to sample with Marker ending up ~6m above us a
nd ~3m to
1028 Hi T probe yields temp. of 366.4
1030 Major #10 (red) sampled shattering chimney-probably dilute, 4897,5994 z218
4, h229
1038 Major #9 (yellow) good sample 4896, 5997, z2184, h231
1048 GT #5 (red) sampled, 4896,5997, z2184, h237, possible no fire, deploy AH ma
rker to right
of orifice as on heading 210
~1100 Begin to try and find R marker by sliding thru Tara-Needle gap; quickly at
U marker on
Puffer, pivot left and observe star marker
1133 Sample star marker with manifold port outer major temp of 370.3 acheived. A
