It's good to be back at pavilion lake. The water's clear and I'm assuming the microbialites are happy. The first task on my plate was to set up a weather station. The previous one had to be rescued mid winter due to large sheets of ice moving across the lake at spring thaw. The new station will be set up on shore, which will be more comfortable for everyone, especially the weather station. Between the software and the hardware, things were eventually sorted out and weather data is now being collected. And who doesn't like weather data.
With that out of the way, I can get more involved with the submarines on site. UBC's GAVIA will need some fine tuning, also some very large tuning before it will be operational for my purposes, which includes capturing photos from the deepest basin in Pavilion and Kelly lake. Eventually these photos will be put together into a mosaic. With much help from the premium GAVIA technician Alex, it will soon be fetching me many a fine photo.
