13:50 UTC 3 May 2008: Eric and company (Patrick, Bosun... several people all bundled up so I still need to verify who all was out there handling lines) got Float 47 back on board without any hitches that I could see. Yay! Now we can head back to Float 48 and the gliders (and Checkley's float) to get started on the calibration casts and surveys.
