   I.     Posted 2005 schedules

 

R/V Alpha_Helix 2005

=======================================================================

Layup to be determined at later time after OPP funding decisions

Some confusion about what NOAA work is to be supported by ALPHA HELIX CY 2004, 2005. Possible Stabeno 12 days, need to add to schedule.

Need to clarify requests from Woodgate, Grebmier and Aagard to determine total number of days required. 7 days plus transit estimated.

Kelly/MMS request 5 days plus transit.

Transit estimated at 12 days.

Woodgate, has an additional proposal OPP0454853 if funded would replace Grebmier/Agaard cruise.  Net result is either 6 or 8 day cruise is needed.

OPP decisions around Thanksgiving

Lovvorn, 20040811101245BC requests 30 days plus transit. OPP0454454

Update LOI with funded and work still pending.
