1 816. Then two turn-around cruises and a final cruise was made on April 



2 28 to 30th.

4 This gives you a little bit of an idea of--that's a little better 



5 than that other one, isn't it? It's not too good, but it is still 



6 better than the other one. This is the well site. We had one transect 



7 that parallelled the current, the prevailing current to the southwest, 



8 that went through a depth of 550 meters. 



9 We were interested in the top part of the canyon, 550 meters up. 



10 We had another transect that went along the axis of the canyon and we 



11 took samples here. Then we had another transect, Transect 3, where we 



12 took some sediment samples down here. This would be south. 



13 This is the way the sediment traps and current meters were 



14 located. We had sediment traps, two sediment traps, acoustic release 



15 type devices, one at about 20 meters below the surface here. This is 



16 about 1500 meters down current, 20 meters below the surface, and 140 



17 meters below the surface which is about 10 meters off the bottom. 



18 Then at the canyon rim, which is right here, that was about 3.7 



19 kilometers away, we had one--we had a sediment trap and a current meter 



20 at 150 meters or about 140 meters deep, right about where the canyon 



21 starts to dip. 



22 Then, in the canyon itself, we had two current meters and sediment 



23 traps, one 10 meters off the bottom at 540 meters and then another one 



24 again 150 meters from the surface. So, those were the ways we had our 



25 traps and current meters arranged.

27 This is in a little bit more detail, the same thing, but you can 



28 see the contour lines a little better.

30 The well was a fairly high mud weight and discharged a lot of 



31 barite, moreso than we did in the Mid-Atlantic Study. We discharged 



32 about 1,000 metric tons here. The mud weight went up to I think around 



33 16 or 17 pounds per gallon. This is the cumulative discharge volume.
