Please remember that the plan is to wait and respond to the actual event. The scheduled March 10 date was only a place holder, and NOT meant to indicate an actual sailing date. We should be able to get a 2-3 day meterological forecast of the necessary storm, and then a day or so for lake conditions to become workable. Ideally we are loaded on the ship, and depart as soon as sailing conditions are possible. I currently have a list of 16 possible scientists who are scheduled to go on this cruise (see below). I was told that we can have 14 slots, so please confirm that you will use the spaces and that you can be responsive to the event given an approximate 3 day warning. IF the event is delayed (or doesnt occur) we should probably schedule a FIXED cruise date for people to get out and at least generate some good background data. Remember we only have the Guardian until April 12, then she's gone until the end of May. Hank V. has scheduled time on the Laurentian from Mar 8 - Mar 20. If he's on the Guardian, then the ship is obviously available to support field studies in other ways. Please coordinate with him if you think you might want to use the Laurentian to collect and deliver samples for shore-based experiments etc.... When I have an official list for the cruise we can start discussing cruise details. But in general, we want to try and get the whole southern basin survey completed as well as do the best job for a time series within the major St. Joe study area and sample within the offshore transport feature. I can envision doing the Racine transect as we depart from Milwaukee and then head to St. Joe. We could then return to the St. Joe area every other day, and trying to get the other transects completed on the off days, working back within the offshore feature as possible.
