After BPR is released from its mooring anchor and begins rising to surface, Kendal lowers a transducer over the side which communicates with the BPR, allowing technicians to locate it.

1:10:36:00
Retrieval of BPR
With flotation provided by highly visible, yellow-encased, glass-ball flotation devices, the BPR reaches the surface and is sighted. The BPR is then recovered with a grappling hook (10:49) and retrieved via the ship's crane (10:54).

1:11:22:00
Retrieval of deployed buoy
Recovered by crew with hook (11:39), retrieved with crane (11:48)

1:12:13:00
Deployment of replacement buoy
Existing mooring chain, still anchored to the ocean floor, has been taken off the "old" buoy and attached to the replacement buoy, which is then deployed.

Deployment of replacement BPR
BPR, attached to a steel-plate anchor capable of sinking BPR and its glass-ball flotation system, is deployed via ship's crane.
