"The R/V Brooks McCall departed Port Fourchon on the evening of May 7, 2010. On May 8, 2010 the vessel was engaged in planning operations, crew orientation, and operational checks of all equipment. After shakedown, one control sample station was occupied. On May 9, 2010 the vessel was instructed to transit to the vicinity of the release point and begin survey work. A total of eight sample series (labeled B02 through B09) were taken that day. On May 10, a series of six sample sets (labeled B10 through B15) were collected, based on estimates provided by the Area Command Environmental Team of the location where dispersed oil might reach the surface as a result of the subsea injection. On May 11, three additional sample sets (labeled B16 through B18) were taken in the same vicinity. Two sets were taken at the same coordinates (B3 on May 9 and B10 on May 10: B13 on May 10 and B16 on May 11)"--R/V Brooks McCall cruise report Cruise overview: http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/noaa_documents/DWH_IR/DWH_documents_NCDDC/Archive%20Prep/Brooks_McCall/Cruise_01/0-data/Cruise_Documents/Plans_Reports/Cruise_Report_Trip_1_sent_2010_0512.doc.
