Cruise Plan

We propose a 34-day leg of the R/V Ewing, assuming ports of Morehead City to Morehead City, broken down as follows: 

        Steam to Blake Ridge    			 0.8 days
        Deploy 8 OBS    				 1.0
        Test guns, deploy streamer      		 2.0
        Shoot OBS and regional grid, ridge crest         1.25
        Recover guns, streamer, 8 OBS   		 2.0
        Deploy GI guns, streamer        		 0.75
        Shoot 3D grid   				19.0
        Contingency (weather + maintenance)     	 3.0
        Recover gun, streamer   			 0.5
        Deploy 8 OBS    				 1.0
        Shoot OBS array, "stringer"     		 1.0
        Recover streamer, OBS   			 1.0
        Steam to Morehead City  			 0.8
