From an email from Kurt

heat is brutal, progress slow.
Still working out details of boat operations (modified shop cataraft motor mount at the end of today).
We installed two tripods only today, 10 hrs worked.(stations 6 and 12)
Good news is the foot pads and screw anchors seem to work ok, but need to step up installation process.
Transit times and access due to tides are proving to be unnerving.
Modifying the installation procedure as we go to step up the progress.
Hope to improve tomorrow...
Will keep you informed.
