Modem fix, Met Canister failure

[taken from an email by Matt Previte (Xylem/YSI) dated April 23, 2014.]

Jon and Albert updated the modem at Southwater Caye in Belize.  Had some initial trouble, but the buoy is now allowing us to call-in.  The bad news is that the met canister was flawed at this site and was allowing moisture to get inside.  They are shipping that back to us for evaluation/repair, so I imagine it will be a couple of months before they get that reinstalled.  So you can connect to the buoy but there is no met or water quality data.
