  Replaced AC-9 battery & re-charged: 1000

  Checked AC-9 : 1210
    - downloaded remaining data (run.003, run.004)
    - cleared memory

  Checked FRRF : 1343
    - reset clock
    - reformatting flashdisk
    - voltage = 14.32 V, recharging
    
  PRR/TSRB cast :
  
    The times for p021123a.bin are 3 hours ahead due to the computer being
    set to OST (Oregon Time) opposed to HST. The remaining 2 profiles use
    the correct time.

  Calibrating AC-9 : 1000
    - temp = 25.8 C
    - voltage = 11.9 V
    - files : run.000, 25nov02a1.dat, 25nov02a2.dat, 25nov02c1.dat, 
              25nov02c2.dat

    The second calibration files were run right after the first after
    re-purging the lines of bubbles. Values may-or-may-not be better.

  Re-charging AC-9 : 530-1142
  
  AC-9/FRRF cast (w/o filter) : 1320-1414
    - depth   : ~240m
    - rate    : ~10 m/min
    - weather : 10-15 kt winds, 6/8 clouds
    
    The first 2 deployments were done using the ships crane; but due to
    the wire slipping the sheave, the 3rd profile was done using the
    capstan.  A 280m line was used, but we expect to have gotten only
    ~240m of line-out.
