1720 Fired Sipper #4 at position 1. Temps (30–37°C). E. chem. probes 1 & 2 (235–251).

1725 Videotapes changed.

1729 Position 2. Temps (30–36°C). Sipper fired #5 E. chem. electrode 1& 2 (252–259).

1750 Position 5. Temps (33–42°C). Sipper fired #8. E. chem. probes 1& 2 (281–294). Video.

1758 Position 6. Temps (55–67°C). Sipper fired #9. E. chem. probes 1&2 (295 junk) (296–307).

1810 E. chem. probe cleaning. (manips with probe moved to cold water).

1815 Position 7. Temps (30–36°C). Sipper fired #10. Video. E. chem. probes 1 & 2 (325–332). Great port video of Sipper in hole.

1823 Position 8. Temps (30–36°C). Sipper fired #11. Video. E. chem. probes 1 & 2 (333–342).

1831 Position 9. Temps (53–68°C). Sipper fired #12 (but did not go all the way up). E. chem. probes 1 & 2 (343–351).

1834 E. chem. And sipping done!!!! 1835: Begin attempts at worm collection in high-frequency sampling area.

1850 Worms from around position 2 collected and secured in ARTIE chamber 1. RNA Later successfully pumped into ARTIE.

1852 Begin second Alvinella collection. Collection of a total of 12 worms completed thereafter. Eight deposited in chamber 2 and pumped full of RNA Later. Please consult video for exact sample collection sites.

1915 Targets 18 & 19 dropped LBL (4692,77643).

1922 Electrodes cleaned.

1924 Tapes changed.

1932 Arrive TY/Io for plume work (X,Y,heading; 4672,77620,067).

1941 Please consult my DaVinci like drawing of the plume site. Digital stills and video taken.

2005 Deployed Crab Trap (X,Y,heading; 4683,77643,153).

2006 The great mangled Riftia preservation at same spot as crab trap (4688,77642). Riftia expertly captured, sectioned, and stuffed into ARTIE chamber 3.
