Heidi La Quadra, Communications

With the challenges of weather and tides, personnel availability and scheduling, the month of September had only one patrol out on the 28th with Max LeFevre covering the watch in the radio room.  The Qualification Exams on Sept. 8th also met with storm and tidal challenges.  Thanks to Richard Brant for assisting me in covering the watch that evening.  Vessel changes and crew changes gave the teams an opportunity to work together and served as a great learning tool.
The communications trailer registration is being finalized and work will recommence on the refurbishment project now that the weather is cooling.  Looking forward to rounding up some volunteers soon to begin tackling the various items on the to-do list.
