Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: The instrumented moorings and instrumented tripod, GEOPROBE, were recovered during this leg. These instruments had all been deployed during AmasSeds Cruise 2 in February 1990. The mooring at site M-1 was recovered first with all instruments except for one Datawell Waverider which apparently broke free and drifted out of the study. All instruments were recovered from site M-3 with no complications. At site M-2 the instrumented mooring had to be dragged for with grappling hooks because all surface buoys deployed at M-2 had broken free. All instruments on the mooring wee recovered by dragging except for one which was subsequently found and returned by Brazilian fishermen. The instrumented-tripod, GEOPROBE, was recovered using a trawling net. The instruments on the tripod were recovered undamaged and with data preserved.
