Comments

Arrived at SAZ-C mooring site yesterday afternoon, and with good conditions retrieved mooring in a few hours. Began early this morning and by 0815 had the mooring back in the water: a much quicker than anticipated turn-around! As we left the site, the wind and sea began to increase. Now heading for the third and final mooring site, SAZ-B. REGARDS Dug
