They have scanned the first planned area by now. We can only wait and hope that they have found something perhaps a small reference to #MH370 and wait for the news. Pago Pago is on the other side of the world. I dont think they came back after that turn 🤔

#Armada8605 has >4m waves on @Windycom & 7m waves forecast is now due at AMC Henderson 0500 on Wed 28 Jan for reprovisioning. Still unclear if @Ocean__Infinity will return to MH370 search area this season or head directly for next port now showing as #PagoPago in American Samoa.

They are still working hard and searching. Unfortunately, we can't send direct messages to the team on the ship. I think they deserve a lot of respect and thanks for their dangerous work on the open sea. Let us thank them and wish them all the best!

The Ocean Infinity survey vessel Armada 86 05 has finished its third weeking scanning the seabed where MH370 is believed to have ended up after vanishing from radar screens. It made some progress but spent much of the time stymied by severe weather

Huge >6m waves showing on @Windycom forecast in #MH370 search area for Sunday 25 January. #Armada8605 should be heading towards AMC Henderson for scheduled reprovisioning by then. Hoping they can avoid the worst of this bad weather.

#Armada8605 still has >4m waves waiting to resume AUV ops. @Windycom forecast not good before leaving ~ 24 January to AMC Henderson for scheduled reprovisioning. @Ocean__Infinity should refocus on searching for #MH370 in any data gaps closer to 7th arc on return.

It looks like they had two points of interest (POIs) recently at last and are now slowly leaving the search area. What do you think @mh370.io @benjohn65.bsky.social ?

First day of #sailgp in Fremantle today. Winds predicted to be moderate. Looks a bit more boisterous tomorrow when I'll be going. Hope 'The Doctor' kicks in. I'd like to see the 100kmh speed line crossed, maybe even take the record which sits at 103.93kmh. Not bad for 3 tonnes of wind powered boat.
