The Pioneer 18 deck team is up early to prepare for mooring deployments. Handling gear needs to be prepared, equipment needs to be tested, and the environmental conditions need to be assessed. A cup of coffee can get lost in the shuffle. This one sits between the termination of the 403.7 m section of wire rope and the Wire Following Profiler bump stop on the PMUO mooring.
