It was sitting idle (full stop) on first sonar contact before the skipper applied full throttle. That implies that Rubicon was not cavitating (aka propeller noise) and was not scaring the creature below. It was probably only checking out the Rubicon's keel (as if it were a big tasty fish?). The Rubicon's sonar was ostensibly = or below 100 khz hence the beasty could hear it and was driven off or it would have hovered checking out the nosy humans above.

Could it have been equipment failure? In light of the creature's alleged aversion to sound, would it have come so close to the boat, then hung there for 5 minutes? <br /><br />I believe I have read about the problems interpreting information from these types of 'consumer' sonar units. Although the premise is simple enough, so the era should have little bearing on things. I just wonder about people who use these units for a living, in areas where they are not expecting any large unknowns. What do they see day and daily?<br /><br />However, if I had been in the same situation, I certainly would not have dropped anything onto this 'mass'!Martin Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590190801760284564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-38774075014586110082018-04-04T19:57:20.247-07:002018-04-04T19:57:20.247-07:00Does anyone know how many occurrences of this kind...Does anyone know how many occurrences of this kind have happened at Loch Ness (weird sonar contacts)?
