Everything is loaded and the team is ready to go.  The Global Surface Mooring, the largest Irminger Mooring, is placed beneath the a-frame ready for deployment.  Chris Basque, John Jordan, Mackenzie Stuart prepare deck equipment and complete the final connections of all the riser components.  The riser connects the buoy to the anchor, but also has conductors for powering and communicating with fixed instruments at various water depths along the riser.
