Location

Point Au Fer, LA

Summary

Single beam bathymetry lines (280 = 1.068 kilometers (km));sub-bottom profiles (38) ; sound velocity profiles (41)

Info derived

Single beam bathymetry and sub-bottom profiles, if time permits.

Comments

Sub FANs: 15BIM05 = Sallenger - SBB + chirp 15BIM06 = TwinVee - SBB 15BIM07 = WVR1 (White = Shark) - SBB 15BIM08 = WVR2 (Blue = Chum) - SBB

Platform

22-ft Twin Vee (R/V G. Hill) This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
