Well as you would expect not much searching getting done on the water but have being doing a bit of searching on the net for the best and latest bit of kit that might help me
one of the problems I have with the under water drone is that the water is so murky that it is nearly impossible to find the boats on the sonar as I have no idea where the drone is without a visual and the sonar only works while the boat is moving, well now Garmin has come out with the LVS32 transducer with this I will be able to see the drone live while the boat is stoped and guide it towards any objects I find, in livescope mode you can look out wherever you point it and in perspective mode you can look down. If anything it should be fun to see what the drone looks like on it. 
Hope you are all keeping safe and well and hopefully will be back out on the water soon.

So I was out this weekend with the intention of sending down the ROV on the image of the one with the trim tabs but as I was going over it I got a good side image of it and it looks nothing like mine
possibly a Simms super V with a wrap around screen, On we go

I also spent more time and money building her than she was worth it's more about the story than the money, sure I could have built another one but I had already done that challenge now I have a different challenge finding her and rebuilding her I thought I would have done it by now but I'm not writing the story she is

Sounds like you had a Lough-down, instead of a lock-down. 0 -

Thats the million dollar question I believe between marker 5-6 but could be anywhere between coosen point and Lecarrow, the red dots on the map are all boats I have found in the search area and the two I found this weekend are in an area I must have passed over more than 100 times and never seen anything so you just never know sometimes it depends on what angle you hit them at as to weather they look like a boat or a rock.

Fergal, do you have an Android or iPhone and did you have your phone with you on the day you sank?
For example on Android, I can go back in time to any day and Google will kindly tell me where I was.
I would imagine Apple have something similar for iOS.
Not sure how accurate it would be out on the lake.
Maybe your rescuers could dig out theirs and you could correlate for a more accurate estimate of where it went down?0 -

Was it around Lecarrow where the boat took on water and went under initially?
What are you basing your search area on?
Did you ever search the stretch of Shannon towards Athlone?0 -

Yep been through all that even got in touch with the phone company and asked if they could triangulate where the phone last pinged off a tower, they said I would have had to killed someone for them to do that. :eek: Google history only picked me up that morning but then nothing after that and the guy that picked me up only had an old Nokia with no GPS

Could you make an official request under GDPR? Or FOI? Or does that only cover the public service?Yep been through all that even got in touch with the phone company and asked if they could triangulate where the phone last pinged off a tower, they said I would have had to killed someone for them to do that. :eek: Google history only picked me up that morning but then nothing after that and the guy that picked me up only had an old Nokia with no GPS

Not sure how it works but I'd say even if they could do it for me they would only be able to put me in the area and I'm sure I am already in that area. I still have the dead old phone if anyone wants to work some magic on it

Where can you buy cedar in Ireland ? I have been toying with the idea of building one for a long time now.
I can get it here and it's inside my 5k limit
