Last Friday, we were able to deploy our CMD (Current Measuring Device) in the Tomoka River via the college boat and Dr. Woodall. We learned a lot about how we need to tweak it. Specifically, a way to keep it stable at a good distance from the boat.

Oh, and one other thing we learned: how to turn on the HOBO (accelerometer); however, we didn't learn that until we got home and we had no data because we didn't really have it turned on. Go ahead and laugh. It is funny...now.
Deployment at the Oceanwalk
The Wyndym Oceanwalk was kind enough to grant us access at 7:30 in the morning to use their lazy river so we could conduct a controlled test. This deployment was a success; We now have real data to analyze and it is going to be very tedious. We have about a half hour at one second intervals to go over. So you see, we have a lot of data and we are planning on going out on the river again to try it again.
