Anodes going fast!

The Monk's Head CREWS buoy has been cleaned every two week. So far, data has been seamless, and the buoy has been standing up the the weather very efficiently.

Primary concerns are:
1- Large quantities of Sargassum are 'scrubbing' the bottom paint from the buoy.
2- The combination of different metals are resulting in the rapid degradation of the anodes on the system.

Planning to do maintenance on the buoy and replace the anodes shortly!
