PURPOSE OF EXPEDITION:

  Swap out MOBY - End MOBY deployment 4 (MOBY204) and begin MOBY deployment 5
  (MOBY205).

  Begin constructing new clean power distribution van.


EXPEDITION SUMMARY:

  MOBY205 deployed on 21 Apr 98.  Successfully collected simultaneous data sets 
  from both MOBYs on 22 Apr 98 - MOBY205 was attached to the mooring buoy and 
  MOBY204 was under tow from the stern of the R/V Moana Wave.  MOBY204 recovered
  on 23 Apr 98.  Diver cals were not performed due to lack of ship time.

  New CIMEL (instrument #93) site installed on the south side of Lanai just west 
  of Manele Bay (20.735 N, 156.922 W).  

  Electronics and wiring from the old power distribution van were completely 
  removed.  Installation of the air conditioner, most of the interior switching
  equipment, UPS racks, transformer and exterior connector mounts were completed.
