Specifically, the NNE wind direction is believed to yield the greatest wave and resuspension response. Also we are reaching the point in time when the frequency of "big storms" starts to decrease. I will check with Dave Schwab Fri AM about wave forecasts, and I will also talk to the Guardian about there schedule. They will barely have time to get back to Milwaukee, so I'm not sure when we can actually sail. The ideal situation would be to meet the ship in Milwaukee on Saturday to load and sail by noon Sunday if the waves have laid down. If thats simply to soon for some folks, then we should try to get out by Monday. We would probably do the Racine transect first and then head over to St. Joe. So those that want to work with water samples from the St. Joe transect (shore-based) would have an extra day to get to Muskegon or wherever. Please let me know ASAP, exactly WHO is going and whether they can be ready to sail by Sunday or Monday. I'll pass on further info AS SOON as it becomes available. This is not a test.....
