Recovery ship Seaworker appears to have arrived at the Electron splashdown site, ahead of the Rocket Lab Four Of A Kind mission. Approx. 580km downrange.
I hope their retrieval ship holding position is closer to the target than previous attempts. The travel time from splash down to arrival has taken them a long time (almost 90 minutes - one orbit). It seems they could predict better or are they intentionally staying away until they get a better handle on the target area?

https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1751422799040966902We’re standing down from a launch attempt today with lightning risk, thunderstorms, rain, thick cloud and strong upper-level winds expected over LC-1, with a 75% probability of violating (POV) weather constraints for launch.
Next opportunity for launch is forecast for NET Wednesday 31st Jan NZDT.

https://twitter.com/TylerG1998/status/1751425092393807984Inclement weather in Māhia means a delay of a few days to NET Wednesday, January 31 at 1:15 AM EDT (06:15 UTC) for the first #RocketLab #Electron mission of 2024.
The #FourOfAKind flight will feature a first stage recovery attempt, so we’ll see a shiny booster with red markings.

The image says the payload name is LEMUR (Low Earth Multi Use Receiver). Perhaps someone can update the thread title.
