Once again today was another day in port and we are now running out of things to keep us busy. The extra long antenna has been rigged and towers above all the others so hopefully this will give us another couple of nm to the range of our sonobuoys. All our data collection systems are complete and also ready to go as are we.
Mandy Watson of Victorian State Government visited today for a general chat about the project, whales, and our State science permits which was good.
The forecast is improving and we are now waiting on the 6.30pm update. It is likely we will leave port tomorrow but we are not sure of what time. A quick visit to our local headland gave us great views of pounding waves and big swells – it needs some time to settle!
Otherwise all is good and hopefully I have more to say tomorrow.
REGARDS: Mike
