We left port at 0800 heading northbound to the Mendocino ridge and Eel canyon roughly 600 nautical miles from San Diego our ETA is 2200 monday night. We are traveling about 35 miles off shore at 10 knots. We stopped off the coast of Catalina Island and preformed a CTD (C-conductivity T-tempeture D-depth) test. We sent CTD down to 1000 m was started at 1400 hrs. 3 sets of the Benthos acoustic releases were strapped to the CTD cage. Only 2 of the 6 total releases passed, after test were preformed on each set of releases individually at 500m 2 more functioned propperly.
