| Remarks: | Successful recovery and test: Recovered the stretch hose mooring that was deployed at the Buoy Farm on February 23, 2005 last Sunday (May 29th) from the R/V Connecticut. The buoy and hose were in excellent shape - all 16 conductors in the hose were undamaged and the solar power system had the batteries fully charged. The small computer that passes data from the MotionPak and Tension Cell to the radio link was hung up for unknown reasons. When Keith plugged in a spare, it immediately started. When he plugged the original unit back in, it also ran normally. The Tension Cell failed after about 2 months from what appeared to be corrosion and it was returned to the vendor. In general, this test verified the reliability of the stretch hose, despite several periods of severe weather. |
