Once the buoy is released, it drifts
behind the ship. The ship steams
at a steady 1-1.5 kts upwind to keep
tension on the wire. Since the
mooring takes 12 hrs to deploy, the
deployment starts 12 nm away from
the intended anchor site. Hopefully,
the wind direction does not change
during the deployment...
The anchor seen in the foreground will be
needed about 12 hours later.
