It took a few tries, but the last two anchors of the Pioneer New England Shelf array were successfully recovered under the able guidance of Deck Lead and ROV operator Chris Basque.  During the night of November 21, the team was steaming north along the LTER cross shelf transect line making an EK80 survey, then stopped for a final few CTD stations.  The ship arrived back in Woods Hole the morning of November 22 in time for Thanksgiving.  We are all grateful for their hard work and expertise, accomplishing all mission objectives in spite of the weather.
