We successfully deployed the HOT profiler yesterday, which proceeded to the charging dock, charged, and left-  the first demonstration of an inductively charged moored profiler in the open ocean.  After 6 long years of adventures and frustration that featured an Albatrossian series of bad luck including bankrupting a Swedish company, a wire parting, two imploded communications buoys, a 1000-pound sphere bouncing on the deck, a hole in the hull of a ship, and a motor wired backwards, we finally prevailed.
