Were there any days when the water conditions were too rough for Crabster to deploy? Or was the main challenge bad weather that prevented the mothership from deploying Crabster

We were in Jindo for 20 days. We surveyed Sewol ferry for 2 days. And we waited at pier for 15 days. Since there were no requests for additional survey from government, we decided to survey seafloor at a distance from Sewol for ourselves for 3 days. But we could not deploy Crabster at first two days due to the bad weather conditions. The weather was windy and wave height was 2 meters, the rolling of our ship was too big to deploy Crabster. The last day we sent Crabster to seafloor and we found that the 6m-pipe- debris, which were detected by side scan sonar before a couple of days, were not from Sewol.
