confluence test

here is a shot of the multi beam as we were collecting while roaming
above the confluence of the Cascadia and Willapa channels offshore
Washington. you can see the cahnnels are in blue and the surrounding
levee systems, which are less deep, are in yellow.

cromsos did an excellent job at laying out our waypoints so that we
could hit the confluence, which has yet to be mapped in such detail. i
suspect this bathy will end up in a powerpoint slide very soon! this
is a key part of the seismo part of the story for the turbidites. more
on this later, i need to get to bed... gotta get up early for work.
