Test station

Thanks to a 2.5 day steam to our starting point, we had time for a test cast (yesterday). One big question is: Will all bottles close (except for one that is dismounted) and will they all trip at the right depth? There have been some problems prior to this. The answer is "yes" at least for this station. We are crossing our fingers for future casts.
