Night time Raft Recovery

For reasons unrelated to this test, the ferry Stena Jutlandica ended up not circling the scene to calm the seas as we have grown accustomed to, but rather going straight against the 3m swells in reverse. This created quite tumultuous seas in the vicinity of the ferry, making this our first night time drill a little more exciting than we expected. Even though the drill took longer than we would have wanted, the launching, connecting, lifting and recovery all went well and felt safe. We also learned that we need better cameras!
