Departed Selfs Point 0900 local yesterday Completes ships LIPS testing at 1450 local yesterday off Cape queen Elizabeth. Windier than expected overnight, gusting over 40 knots, but didi initial survey pass over PULSE mooring site on transit to SAZ mooring site. Conditions improved by 0600 for successful SAZ deployment. Mooring position then verified by acoustics. CTD winch test to 1000m completed, and just started Transit to "pulse" Mooring site for further surveying tonight. Hopeful of break in weather tomorrow after forcast 30 knot winds tonight. All travelling well onboard, Regards Jono.
