The rat team to use the light effectively are on GMT time so this was the only place in the world that had a two hour time difference between two buildings 100 feet apart! We decided as a base to move to GMT so last night we lost two hours of sleep. Lots of tired people today!

Today I spent the day doing detective work using the photos and a bunch of different bits of information to create a better search area to recover the hopper hopefully next week when we have a dive compressor and more dive kit arriving.

We also filled a lot of sandbags with cement and shored up the slipway at low water as wave action has eroded it quite severly. An old boatman removed a lot of material from the beach because they wanted to tie the RIBs up this has caused quite a large issue.

So that is my update…. everything from now till the rat team leave will be basically around base as I am on continuous SAR duty so aren’t allowed more than 10 minutes from base.
