another long weekend

The antifouling device showed up from Seabird, but much later than we expected. So, Honey Badger will not get a TBT facelift until Monday. Brad will do it on the boat, so we don't have to bring it (her? him?  ships are her, but AUVs?  No nautical lore to guide me here) back to the dock.  I requested a more adventurous track than just a box so we could look for gradients and test both the instruments and the website.  The delay is not a big deal, although everybody would have liked to send Honey Badger over the horizon today.  I'm not leaving until Tuesday, so we will have some final pictures of the glider to post. 

Here is the official farewell picture for Honey Badger. Many thanks to everybody here for helping out with this and not looking too annoyed when I got in the way.

And here's Honey Badger being loaded and a farewell to land for a long time:
