11. November - 16. December 1998

From 2D (1 streamer) to 3D (2 streamers)

Best trip ever. Lots of shooting and exciting to be doing two-boat operation with the Master vessel Geco-Longva. Only losing time and money by being on the back deck twice during the trip. Two-boat set-up with Geco-Longva
Last part we should have been doing some more cable work, but the weather got bad. Geco-Longva changed out a bad digitizing unit for us during the trip and they did ballasting of the streamers as well since the water got colder and the density of the water higher and we didn't have a proper work boat. Longva work boat crew, getting crew memeber from Marlin
 It is also social shooting with another vessel, more people and more fun. Though operating as a "Slave" vessel information, from the "Master" vessel at all times to know what the plans are, is crucial. Early morning, getting our door back.
This trip we got a lot of mob boat driving as well so everything was as it should be, except for the Norsat C dome. We learned a lot on that subject as well. Light during morning hours
Norsat C came up with a new fault every time it went down Norsat C down again
Our stuff is all over the floor after a turn in bad weather
