Trinity Bay Mission 2014

On Tuesday we deployed two of our 1000m gliders in Trinity Bay to start a new multi-week mission. We transported the gliders by fishing vessel out of Heart's Content and deployed them off Winterton. We thank the crew of Gracie's Adventure for their help.

Mike Hakomaki radios in to get clearance to deploy

Mike and Sam Banton swing the glider out over the side on its cart 
and let it slide into the water

Mike pulls the cart back aboard while the glider drifts free of the skiff
