This photo depicts the number of support people necessary for a successful CTD deployment. Cooperating via VHF radio, we have in the upper left - Jesse, on the bridge, upper right - Elfrem running the winch, lower left -Kevin monitoring the depth and other electronic information, and lower right- Greg monitoring the physical deployment. As Jesse strives to keep the ship exactly on station given variable wind and sea, Greg makes sure all the mechanics are performing correctly. Meanwhile, Kevin monitors the CTD depth and requests winch movement up and down from Elfrem as necessary. Photos and caption by: Heidi Geisz
