The job today
Progress0%
Out, across, back. The cross legs are
surveyed too: they cut the offshore lines at right angles, which is what makes the profiles
into a surface.
Plan the day
Nothing planned. Add a move above.
Set the net, work the meadow, be home
before the front. Add the moves in the order you want them and the route follows the coast.

The breeze builds through the afternoon. Wave height
comes from wind and fetch, so the lee of a headland stays workable when the open coast
does not.

The session
When the day ends, the run writes a survey_session/1.0:
the track, every sounding with the quality it was taken at, the coverage against the shelf,
and what the day cost in fuel and hours. Simulated throughout, and the file says so on every
record.
The day is still running. A session is
written when it ends: at 19:00, when the lines are finished, when the tank is dry, or when
you call it.
