CRUISE NARRATION:

30 April - Big Bucket worked well at all times except a small sample on 1010 was probably caused by a hard bottom. Bottom camera worked fairly well, exposure adjustments made after the first test. New screen in the shaker is a good improvement. The new hydraulic davit worked well also. The trip started in the rain and ended in rain with wind gusts up to 45 kts.
