Hello All
Yesterday afternoon we deployed our first float and then a 2000m CTD in the evening.
Today turned out to be quite exiting with us on station to deploy the gliders. The first glider was struck by a wave of water as the vessel slammed down on the stern of which force broke its wing. We then had to deploy our Rescue Boat in marginal conditions to recover the glider again. We reviewed our deployment strategy and deployed the second glider with success. The glider was sent down to depth and return to the surface after communication to it from the shore station. We remained on station to deploy another float and completed a CTD station. We are hoping to deploy the "clipped" glider on the north bound leg again.
Have a good end to the week.
