Glider hiccups

We are safe and SOUND back in Cordova. After leaving port today we headed out to launch the glider north of Hawkins Island. The glider had trouble flying after the initial test runs, but did not provide any clues to what the problem may be. We went to Windy Bay to run some more test flights and hide from the wind. The glider seemed to correct itself and ran great, but Rutgers needs to look at the data and make sure it will be ready to fly tomorrow. We are planning to do a short REMUS run in the morning and then launch the glider around 14:00. Good luck to everybody tomorrow.
