Happy birthday to Merrie :) Merrie is my friend Paul's daughter and Paul is along on this trip along with my nephew Sam. Paul's family will fly to Pebble Island to join us on Friday and stay for the weekend.
A breezy day in Pebble Sound but our anchorage is snug. This morning was a maintenance period on the sidescan sonar system that we have brought with us. Somewhere in the harbour here of Pebble settlement is the wreck of an Argentine Pucara aircraft that was dropped into the water when it was being carried as an under-slung load by a British Chinook helicopter during a battlefield clean up sometime after the 1982 war. Something went wrong and the load was jettisoned; we given ourselves the task of finding that wreck. This afternoon with all systems checked out we searched an area of the harbour completing 7 nautical miles of imaging. The bottom of the bay is very flat and featureless but we have one very promising image that looks like the tail of a pucara sticking out of the mud. Hopefully tomorrow's weather will be more settled and we can return to the site for some more imagine and perhaps to dive the object.
I have attached an outline map of the Falklands to this entry with the islands that we are currently cruising highlighted in green.
