The sun sets…
On Tuesday (Oct. 4) the R/V Thomas G. Thompson crossed the bar in Yaquina Bay and moored to the pier at the NOAA Marine Operations Center in Newport. With that, the second leg was completed, and the Endurance 17 Expedition came to a successful end. All objectives have been completed, and the Coastal Endurance Array is ready to record the next six months of oceanographic data in the North Pacific.

Thank you to the OOI team for allowing me to join them, and for allowing our research group the ability to attach our SeaCubes and SeaTubes to the mooring. Your friendliness and willingness to welcome me made this a great experience!
