Comments

All’s going well here in Portland. Gear was quickly loaded and the acoustic gear was set up without a hitch. The vessel is great as are the masters and crew. After completing the ship induction and sonobuoy JHA briefing we left harbour to drop two sonobuoys at 50m to test the receiver system. All went well with signal received from both sonobuoys. Signal was lost at about 5nm so we are looking to raise the receiver a further 5 or so metres which may add another nmile to the range. We returned to port at 2000.

Thanks to Leanne, Sarah and Ian for making everything run so smoothly.
