Mark, This is the first Sea Explorer lab from last year Thanks John; very nice example of what can be done. Better than a log of the day's activities.

John and Steph; Excellent map!! Sounds like you were both on the pm cruise. Appears that there was no pm trawl; used the morning specimens. Looks like you anchored up in about 48m. = 53yd. = 26fath. Does that make it an attempt at M25 transect station? That was also the info missing on the first cruise where you got the data sheet but no info on station. Assuming wind out of the W, I can assume which green mark is anchor drop and which is hydroprobe. [Can't figure how you could pull the anchor without going back to where you dropped it.] There is a printer on board but is never used. They don't even know if it works. I'm thinking a map such as yours would be very good as a teaching tool onboard [even better once we figure out how to include the data] and an excellent thing to give to the instructor to take back to the school. Re legend/labels my preference is to use text labels on the waypoints themselves rather than a legend. Unless, of course, the waypoints all go into a spreadsheet mapped as xy data records and there is a label field. This latter is probably the most desireable for the future and would be standardised. Any luck getting the Thales to do what the ExpertGPS does? Can you extract what Dave got from the morning trawl and station data? I need to fill everybody in on the recent problems with "the Toy". It must do SOMETHING useful. | |||

Here's the map for the trip, Steph gave me the Thales, I used my Garmin GPSMAP76Cx and ExpertGPS.
