La Spezia

Feb 25th to 29th - La Spezia, Italy - Hydrographic Institute training
5 days training SEA SWATHplus to the Naval
Hydrographic Institute. This consisted of using both bow and pole mounts on the hydrographic launches. The system was bought with a wet pod Applanix POSMV, but unfortunately this had not arrived so undertook training using the on-board Seatex Seapath 200 system. It was interesting to discover that the hydrographic officers were very well trained and new all the theory of good data collection and best practice, patch testing etc. BUT had never measured a vessel offset, you never know what new things you will be teaching!
