There was a reasonable consensus from those of us who tried to do the survey that we really ought to practice these skills before we next go back to the wreck.
As it will be beneficial to spend a decent amount of time in the water we thought it would be sensible to wait until the water warmed up a little (eg late April or May). We can therefore probably arrange a specific date at the Chatham weekend.
If anyone would like to get a headstart and do things over the winter months as well, please let me know.
I have now knotted the line on my 400ft pathfinder (well everything we didn't lay on the sailing ship in October) and a full 1lb spool of spare line at 1m intervals, which should be sufficient for the practice weekends.
If anyone has any thoughts as to location, please post a reply. In the absense of other suggestions I would probably go for Vobster.
