Here is the summary of vessel availability of sufficient size and range and associated costs and issues.
1. Capt Krage Gardiner of the Fin Galley (50 ft). We spoke over the phone, but I did not meet in person. I was in the area and did take a look at his vessel and took pictures (with his permission). He verbally quoted a day rate of $1600 to any tower in the Oceana Range.

2. Also, I contacted Reed Meredith of the Wahoo (43 ft). He has worked with us to deploy and recover bottom frames with wave and current meters. He was less comfortable about pulling up alongside the towers but willing to think about it and discuss. He also allowed me to take a look and photograph his vessel. His going day-rate is $1500.
