@ Will clean the transmissometer windows, take out freshwater syringe off the conductivity sensor and replace it when the CTD comes on board
# Will fill out the station log sheet for the CTD cast before the cast and enter it into the computer in the evening
* Will release straps of the SPMR, clean windows, wash it down with fresh water after it is back on deck and secure it
+ Will fill out the optics log sheet for the SPMR cast before the cast and enter it into the computer in the evening
** only on clear days
