In situ temperature measurements were taken repeatedly to measure the anomalously low heat flow values that may suggest widespread refrigeration of the crust by vigorous fluid flow at depth. Most of the temperature measurements were with the new Davis-Villinger Temperature Probe. Water samples were also taken both above the seafloor and in the sediment. The lab equipment acted satisfactorily for the most part during the leg. One detector was dead, but the other could be tuned.
New detectors are on order.
The library Xerox copier's document belt ripped. This is temporarily working and spares are on order. The centrifuges in the Paleo lab also required a lot of maintenance. The six-channel streamer developed a cracked depth transducer and was shipped back to shore for replacement. We report to each drill, but unless we are the initial response team to the area, we standby on the catwalk.
