I arrived about 1:30pm. It was warm and sunny with a strong breeze from the north.

I tried to talk to the sonic and get its firmware version. I could see the data coming in but could not interrogate the sonic. Might be worthwhile swapping out that sonic with one of the new ones.

The 7700 RSSI was 21.5 and the wash reservoir was empty again. I replaced the tubing that we determined was leaky last time. I covered the new tubing with black split loom. I didnâ€™t have much water with me so I dumped about a liter of tap water in the wash box. With the new tubing in place I tested the spray and discovered leaks inside the wash box. The leaks were at tube fittings. I put cable ties on them. While fixing the leaks the pump mount fell apart. I replace a missing screw and put it together again. Even with the cable ties there were leaks when the tubing was pressurized. I think the spray head is plugged up. I took off the spray head and cable tied the tubing to the 7700 spar so that it sprays the mirror. After doing a manual spray and spin the RSSI rose to 60.4. I think I left the spray head on the upper boardwalk there.

I added a UC equipment tag to the 7700 and took photos for a UC inventory audit.
