Add personnel requirements to retrieval info

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I think it would be helpful to outline the personnel needs (at least two people) and roles for recovery (someone to pull, store gear, watch for drogue/hydrophones coming up). Number of people may be different on a large ship vs. small boat.

Depending on the size of the vessel and sea state, there are two main methods to retrieve the buoy;
1. Approach the High Flyer and have a crew grab the pole buoy to lift it on board
2. Use a boat hook or grapple to grab the line between the pole buoy and the 11" surface float and use the grapple/line to pull the High Flyer on board\

How does this sound?

The minimum number of personnel required for the recovery process is two and additional support may be needed based on the size of the vessel and sea state. The two essential roles for recovery include someone to grab the buoy and pull it in, and someone to store gear and watch for the drogue/hydrophones coming out of the water. These tasks can be completed by more than two people as needed.

I wasn't sure about the role part, if it fully makes sense. Let me know what edits you have

Looks good to me!
