Dear Marina Tenant,

Thanks former Hurricane Paine for the showers! It was really coming down in the south bay! We hope you were able to get any open hatches closed up before the rain. It felt like the tropics with some impressive lightning around the county and over the water. Please make sure to check the weather forecast before heading out, especially if lightning is present or forecast.

What Drones Did for the Sky, Robot Subs Are About to Do for the Sea

The next drone revolution is happening underwater. Just as flying drones have changed from expensive specialist tools to mass-market million-sellers in a few short years, their aquatic counterparts are opening up the seas.

Unmanned submarines, known as Remotely Operated Vehicles, can regularly be seen on television exploring sunken cities or looking for crashed aircraft. They are connected to a mothership via a tether and can dive deeper and longer than a SCUBA diver. The advantages are obvious: For humans, anything below a hundred feet is a "deep dive" that can require hours of decompression. Not so for bots, which can swim deeper and faster.
