Update: "Seabed Worker" - position

An apology for the positions last posted. It transpires there were transcription errors in the positions, and the "Seabed Worker" didn't go out to the west of the current search zone. That post has now been removed, and the correct positions over the last two days follow:-

23 May 2010 16:20 Hdg 276.5 Spd 00.6 3°05'42"N 30°45'08"W
23 May 2010 07:11 Hdg 255.9 Spd 00.8 3°04'59"N 30°41'40"W
23 May 2010 05:30 Hdg 101.1 Spd 10.3 3°06'41"N 30°49'52"W
23 May 2010 03:45 Hdg 303.9 Spd 01.0 3°10'42"N 30°49'13"W
22 May 2010 19:00 Hdg 082.3 Spd 07.2 3°28'58"N 30°34'25"W

21 May 2010 18:18 Hdg 323.5 Spd 00.8 3°07'16"N 30°41'11"W



It would seem that the vessel has been and had a look at some areas to the north previously covered by the "Anne Candies" with her towed sidescan sonar. Currently, she is back in an area around 10NM northwest of the LKP.
