Tropical Storm Guillermo didn't really kick up the seas for us, but it was really cloudy. We've had to turn off a few sensors to keep the power from being drained. It's not a crisis, but we are temporarily without one of the C3 fluorometers. Otherwise, all seems well. We are heading toward a big patch of chlorophyll off to the west. It is near the area we crossed heading north in June. Before then, we will cross a region of very low chlorophyll and should have a chance to see if the spiking in the sensors all dies down. That would be a great result since it would give us some confidence that fouling was not causing all this.
