Details: Aloha! We made it out to the buoy today and did the cleaning hopefully this will help with the data. Twenty five knot winds and ripping current was not fun, top arm was popping out of the water every once in a while you can see all the bubbles in the photo from where it came back in just as I shot the photo. I packed the one set of caps we had here before we left and packed three of the caps we took off out at the buoy to put back on. This was a challenge with the wind blowing the bromine and everything being wet and no vise on the boat, I took two big channel locks so we could get them apart and we got it done but we need to get another set over here so we can do it here instead of out there in the wind. I had to run over to Home Depot to get the bromine Ace in Lahaina doesn’t carry it I bought (3) bottles of it so we have some in stock for a while. |
