17 May 2009 – Third dye study
Submitted by Byron Crump on May 17, 2009 - 4:58pm
We spent the night searching in vain for the dye from dye study #2, and decided to conduct another dye release. At 1100, dye was released from the Point Sur in a ring shape at the same location as the last release. This time, however, it was released in lower salinity water later during the ebb tide.
We sampled the dye and then moved to the north so the Point Sur could map the patch with the minibat. This time we quickly lost the dye and ultimately never found it again. At 1500 we decided to break off the dye study and start steaming up the coast to the La Push line off Washington State.
