Finally Underway

By Laura Whitmore

Our departure date was delayed due to necessary repairs to the R/V Ronald H. Brown. On Saturday, we finally left port sailed into the sunset, ready for the seas and science that have been waiting for us. All scientists aboard the ship were eager to leave port and are thankful we are on our way. After being reminded of shipboard protocols and emergency procedures, we all pooled to the bow for a group photo during our first full day at-sea (check it out below).
