When glider dfo-bumblebee came back to shore with low batteries after two successful occupations of the Southern Line, weather was looking bad offshore
of Tofino. This meant that it was not safe for our usual partners, the Canadian Coast Guard, to help recover. Instead we asked Bamfield Marine
Science Centre if they could provide support. Imperial Eagle Inlet is still open water, but it is much more sheltered than offshore Tofino! James Pegg and Nick Harper recovered dfo-bumblebee (with 4% nominal battery!) with the help of Bamfield Skipper Dave Porter (on a weekend, no less). They also deployed dfo-marvin for another occupation, which if successful, will mean we have occupied the Southern Line for a full year. Thanks to Bamfield, and the C-PROOF team for their hard work!
