Final boat deployment?

I am reflecting on what a smooth well oiled machine the team has become in terms of deployments. Today, watching the team trade off positions carrying the AUV down to the water, preparing hte AUV, calibrating the compass (again just to be sure), then deploying successfully, I was impressed with how much has been mastered and achieved.

Teamwork to get the AUV to the quay

Happy after deployment (including Tony, Timmy's PhD student working on maritime archeology)
