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).
