  The PRR seems to have lost a case screw from the side and needs
  to be sent for repair. However, it seems to operate properly and
  we decided to keep using it during this cruise.
  
  PRR cast : 1745
    - weather  : 1/8 clouds
    - location : 21 0.025 N, 158 49.996 W
    - note     : Downcast looks fine -> clear skies. Upcast has
                 very large tilt and roll!! Probably not good.
                 Very large current at ~ 40m.
