Strong release
Brought up slowly (check the pic, clear eyes no visible barotrauma)
Had quite a big run around at the surface indicating plenty of life
Brought onboard gently with bogas and support under the tail section
Quickly tagged on a wet tag mat
two quick photos
Over the side to swim a bit and get some oxygen in its system again using the bogas
Release weight inserted boatside
Then plummetted to the bottom, a couple of quick tugs (of the line) and hey presto back in his home territory.
Hopefully I will catch her again one day.
