A Busy Week

Well it has been a busy week and for the most part I have been off the grid. Saturday 19th was a pleasant day with lunch and a walk around Brisighella.
Managed to produce a nice looking mosaic with the SWATHplus sidescan data collected the previous day using CODA Mosaic, so job well done. But disaters started to happen on Sunday when Forli became fog bound and my flight back to the UK was canceled. Had to re-book a flight out of Bergamo near Milan, and take a series of trains to arrive there at 00:30 for a 7:30 flight the next day, so instead of a night out on the lash with the lads in Great Yarmouth, I had a mad rush and 4 hours sleep. Which probably is about the equivalent.
Managed to get on-site in Great Yarmouth for about 11am for a mobilisation of the MV Beaufort for GEMS. The Beaufort is an interesting vessel as it is being used into research for wind power and vessels, and flies a kite off the front deck for this purpose. As usual mobs do not go strictly to plan, but as they go this went very well with all the equipment working and interfacing well.
Had a couple of free days, just a bit of telephone support and now in Netherlands with DEEP and Seabed to survey a canal. Life is never dull
