Ric,
Just a thought - albeit a little late - would an anchored platform offshore Niku act as the stationary station for the ROV and a line from the Nai'a to the platform control the ROV?

And I am convinced this is a landing gear hanging on the slope.  I just pray it is still there and not 5,000 feet lower.

Let's all remember one thing about our hoped-for Niku VIII sonar target - it is the CONROY Anomaly, which forum member Richie Conroy first brought to everyone's attention, and which we are now going to try and get a close look at.

Yes, and I pray it is still there too.  And didn't finish it's slide down the slope. 

[John Klier]

Is he still active on the forum? I haven't seen anything from him in a while.

Hope Richie is well.  Monty's right - it was Richie who spotted this - wasn't it first named for him?

[Gary Vance]

I hope this isn't the same Richard Conroy.  It seems to match his profile though..............

Doesn't sound good, timing sucks.

You all know this but it may be worth repeating that name coincidences are not unusual.  I once googled my name and home city (Baltimore) and noticed that I had the second largest number of hits.  The highest number was a known sex offender who lived a couple miles from where I worked. Fortunately his age and race were different but talk about a blow to your ego...

Quite true.  Opposite for me though since I'm basically the only me I can find online.  No one shares my name, at least not on the internet.

Occurs to me we're getting wrapped around the axle over the most improbable.  Everything seems to point to the innocence of our gentle but missing Richie - who's free as a bird according to his wife's site.
