Pilot Notes
via ioosdh@marine: Morning all, Glider Bass just aborted at 0953 UTC due to what appears to be a small but nonetheless crippling leak. Possibly a bladder leak based on previous experience. Current position is 2715.159 N -8556.259 E about 175nm West of Sarasota, FL and drifting due South. Positions will update every 30 min. This is outside the range for our 36\' vessel. Chad and I discussed pickup by R/V Weatherbird on their way back into port however they are currently about 30 miles from the DW Horizon site collecting samples so that can not happen until Friday. If anyone in the community has a vessel in the vicinity please contact Chad Lembke or myself if you are able to assist in glider recovery. Thanks, David K.
