Isn't there a law that the time when a system fails is invariably when it is
needed most?  Well in accordance with this principle, unknown to us, the EEGLE
email system has not been working properly for the last week and a half. The
installation of a new internet firewall at GLERL has prevented anyone except
people inside GLERL from using the EEGLE email aliases (eegle-pi, eegle-all,
etc.)  The problem should now be fixed.  Of course it means that we missed all
of Paul's forecasts for the big event, but it looks like we'll still get pretty
good coverage.  We sent out an aerial photographer this morning to try to get
some 'up-close' imagery and a precise location on the offshore extension of the
plume.  Mike McCormick went along to help guide the pilot.  Hopefully Tom
Johengen and the rest of the group will be on the Shenehon to sample stations
through the plume later this afternoon.  Satellite imagery from yesterday shows
the offshore turbidity plume extending from St. Joe to station J80 (80 m depth,
directly NW of St. Joe).
