ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for positioning and securing a seismic float alongside a tow vessel, utilizing a docking cone to secure one end of the float and to raise that end of the float above the water, thereby submersing the other end of the float beneath the water, and thereby damping out movements of the float with wave action. Having so positioned and secured the float, a saddle or other attachment means may then be lowered onto the float for retrieval of the float to onboard the tow vessel.
