click map for full-size version Dareen headed south into Saudi Arabia. After quite a while with no signals we are happy to have her back on-line and she's still in the same area as when she was last in contact. Dareen's return did not last that long and we lost trasmissions again when she was still south.

Background

Dareen appeared in the eastern part of the beach around four hours after Nada. She was much smaller in size at just 69cm CCL. While we waited for the epoxy to dry with her in the box, a fierce windstorm came up and everything blurred-up. Despite the elements, Dareen hurried safely back to the water with her transmitter attached around 4 in the morning, at the first light of the day.
