-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 10 meter away from the line.
-Dpol’s external big connector was cleaned with pure and hot water as it had a problem on connection. The O-Rings (on the box and on the connector were greased and put back and dried. Then there was no problem on the connection.
