If I have my steel barge above Gamma there could be a very serious collision. The other option is to forget the barge and send
Gamma down with a rope attached as a locator and a way to slide a cable down to retrieve it. The rope only needs a rubber float to locate
it. I would put a second auto pilot in that relies on a battery going dead to make it surface with a separate hp source.</div><div>What to do hmmm</div><div>The other option is use the auto pilot from Alec without the water sensor and have the barge over Gamma with the cable between.
