2007-07-16 16:34, 196, Arrive R2
2007-07-16 16:34, 196, Ship CTD cast and flow-thru readings

2007-07-17 19:29, 197, All initialization missions successful
2007-07-17 19:54, 197, Start R2 box mission (r2_71214.mi), stayed within Freewave comm for next 12 hours or so

2007-07-18 06:30, 198, Ship leaves R2 for R6 out of radio range
2007-07-18 17:15, 198, Ship returns to R2, receive radio comm from glider for 3 surfacings
2007-07-18 19:00, 198, Ship leaves R2 for R4 out of radio range

2007-07-19 17:45, 199, Ship returns to R2 within radio range for 1 surfacing on steam back to Savannah
2007-07-19 17:45, 199, Ship CTD cast and flow-thru readings

2007-07-24 10:31, 204, MS_ABORT_SAMEDEPTH_FOR too long in R2 box mission, density profile homogenized from surface to bottom at 1023.5 kg/m^3, after sustained NE (?) winds (weight not dropped, glider okay)
2007-07-24 11:48, 204, run lastgasp.mi to download data from abort
2007-07-24 14:50, 204, Start cross-shelf transit from R2 to GSHOME (sequence gshome21.mi gshome21.mi gshome21.mi) to move glider out of low-density water

2007-07-27 04:00, 207, pass R3, and starts to struggle to get to GSHOME

2007-07-28 15:40, 208, still struggling to get to GSHOME, near shelf-break
2007-07-28 15:40, 208, Start Gulf Stream missions (sequence gshome21.mi gsse6021.mi gsnw6021.mi)

2007-07-29 03:16, 209, Despite bearing to the S and SE to GSHOME, glider is pushed N and NW perhaps by strong GS filament (??) getting farther away from GSHOME

2007-07-29 05:23, 209, MS_ABORT_OVERDEPTH caused by latent parameter (f_max_working_depth) set to 50 meters (not 105 meters) during initialization missions and no "exit reset" was issued after ini's.
2007-07-29 05:23, 209, re-sequenced gshome21.mi until overdepth can be resolved in AM

2007-07-30 17:02, 210, Issued "exit reset"
2007-07-30 17:02, 210, Sequence GS missions again (sequence gshome21.mi gsse6021.mi gsnw6021.mi)

2007-07-31 06:37, 211, MS_ABORT_SAMEDEPTH_FOR more than 5 hours and dropped weight
2007-07-31 08:37, 211, Entrained in Gulf Stream as a surface drifter, moving NE

2007-08-01 12:00, 212, 60-70 nm NE of GSHOME, bearing NE at 2-3 knots

2007-08-02 12:00, 213, 100 nm NE of GSHOME, bearing NE but slowing
2007-08-02 19:00, 213, 100 nm NE of GSHOME, bearing NW less than 0.5 knots, caught in eddy?
2007-08-03 12:00, 214, 100 nm NE of GSHOME, 100 nm south of Wilmington, bearing South at 0.25 knots, first Freewave comm on R/V Cape Fear
2007-08-03 12:30, 214, recovered and on deck of R/V Cape Fear
