Honey Badger is off to the North Pacific! We replaced the TBT anti-fouling device over-nighted from Seabird Electronics last night (Thank you, Seabird) on the deck of the boat this morning, activated the Vengmar acoustic listening instrument provided by Barbara Block of Stanford (listens for tagged animals, probably mostly sharks if we happen by one), and checked on the plugs in the tow fish. Everything went splendidly and now Honey Badger is heading off to the northwest.
Track as of 17:54 Hawaii Standard Time. This can be seen on the main project page.
Honey Badger is where the big green dot it.
The TBT anti-fouling device. Brad's pinky is holding it in place until it gets reassembled.
Me checking on the electronics plug. I fretted about this all weekend. They were tight.
This is the final picture of
Honey Badger before it sails off into the open Pacific. Good luck!
