Notes<br />
HO on package from the<br />
south, surfaced within the<br />
boom and quickly HO onto<br />
package. The STSL began to<br />
be aggressive to all CASL<br />
on the package and ended up<br />
fighting with 1-3 of them for<br />
the next hour HO and FO<br />
the package, preventing<br />
vibratory driving.<br />
Observation period ended<br />
with them still fighting.<br />
Distance/direction from west<br />

During full vibe, FO into the<br />
water during fight.<br />
Came from west and began<br />
fighting with another CASL<br />
near west end of package.<br />
