Methane cruise
1. Much discussion over puck make-up necessary for this mission and pre-mission testing. Here is plan as of 13 May 2010.
2. Discussion of schedule once we arrive in LA. Some issues with sharing our van, particularly when we need to run a 'dock' QC before loading on the ship. This issue has been resolved with Theresa.
3. ISUS. Will we use a deep one? Discussion with Bill Ussler has resulted in a negative to that question. Better science may be obtained by collecting water around ESP and running through his GC.
4. Girguis to be called and delivery date confirmed of ISMS and is being shipped to arrive May 19th. Peter changing a turbo pump, and we need to make wiring harness. mounting brackets already finished. Scott has cabling which needs potting.

2. Melancon would like to film the canning of NEO and go on the cruise on Tuesday.
