HRA got a cleaning trip in on Friday, March 27 and I got the photos yesterday. They did a cleaning and filled the anitfoulant tubes. The crew was Nichlas Holm, Levi Kinney and Jeff Thomas. And we are the only work they have at this point.
One leg of the drogue bridle has failed, donât know how long it will hold on. There are some close-ups of the Mid Lu collector. Couple of photos seem to show something and one photo looks fine, You may see more than me. A small fiberglass piece on the top of the bottom can used to cover a hole made for the new specs has come loose and is moving with the movement of the buoy, there is a movie of this.
There also doesnât seem to be a big difference in the before and after photos. I guess that means they got a cleaning in before it was needed which is good especially if they are not able to do the work due to weather. We will keep the cleanings on a three week interval unless I hear different.
