DPol data collection:
12:17 local/19:17 GMT

-Dpol set up on the front boom, which faces towards north from the flip, and hung about 60 ft away from the edge of the boom, just below the SkyCam.. When Dpol is on the surface of water, there is the “mooring line” (big anchor rope) about 4 meter away from it. But, the boom, hence, the Dpol, is slowly moving toward right (east) so that during the end of the day, the camera is about 15 meter away from the line.

-Dpol @ cycle3 @ 30 m (P. raw data=245) as 092208-194500, -200008, -201500, -203005
-sky above the DPol is clear but on the horizon there are clouds and marine layers all around and the visibility up to 8 miles
-wind @ 5 knots from west, water is calm, almost no waves
