The glider is finally in the middle of the sound. We started the day with the launch of the REMUS for another pass up the channel to Cordova. After another flawless launch we went to pick the glider up because it was ballasted to lightly and could not dive below the thermocline. We added some weight and steamed out to EW1 since the ocean was actually relatively calm. We dumped the glider in and it swam away, happy to be in the middle of the sound where it was supposed to be. Glider positions and plots can be found at http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/auvs/?page=deployments under RU21. Scott did CTD profiles at EW1 and a spot 5 degrees longitude east of EW1. We finished up the day by picking up the REMUS and shipping Mark Moline back to California.
