Remark: in the site attached (http://cloud.prohosting.com/~karpion/) you can find the pictures we have from the encounter, and additional information. we are not 100% convinced that this was, in fact, a GW, but this seems the most likely option, given the pictures and what we remember. I can supplay the exact location if this is neaded, to tabot a 10m accuracy (the fish farms in question are ancored into place, and this was right under the north eastern cage.)
Note: Entries marked as * are required.
