- a portable Elac1180 multibeam bathymetry system will be leased for the survey 
and mounted on the starboard side of the R/V Cape Hatteras.  Two days in port   
(in addition to the 14 days of survey) will be needed to mount (remove) and     
test that system

Are there special considerations of the science party or cruise scheduling?     
Consider science time constraints; coordination of equipment shipping;          
two-ship operations; weather windows; mooring turn-around; teaching schedules   
and others that will affect scheduling decisions.                               
-------------------------------------------------                               
A fair weather window is critical for the safe deployment of the SeaBED AUV on  
a daily basis, and we are requesting the window of May-June 2004 (between the   
winter storm season and the Hurricane season).
