Cindy can also supply some. 2 ea. 12X12 bioboxes aboard Cindy needs an outdoor sink for biological work, which she says her group has used in the past in the ROV hangar. Would this be possible? Will there be adequate lighting? - Wayne has rigged up work lights in the past. Nighttime ops on this cruise will be either turnkey (Seabeam) or 3.5 & 12 Khz. Notes: HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PLANS: All materials will be taken off the ship by the shipboard party. List of chemicals and appropriate MSDS will be supplied soon. We will need nitrogen, but I am not *presently* aware of the need for any explosive gases. I will get back to you soon. (Corp Brothers in Hyannis 508-775-5001) We will most likely have a nitrogen tank delivered to the ship and will also acquire liquid nitrogen for preservation of some samples from colleagues at WHOI.
