Deployment blue-20210513T1406
Pilot Notes
Blue got sucked into Vineyard Sound on first 1-hr segment after Shallow.mi - strong tides... Deployment was about 6 miles NE of where Blue is typically deployed. DO NOT deploy this close to Vineyard Sound in the future!!! Several hours of short (45min-1.5hr) segments and waypoint adjustments with Current Correction off to try to avoid getting to the shoals....Altimeter settings adjusted for shallow flight.

No data transfers yet - will resume when we are in a safe location.
