September 18 2023: The last dive of Leg 4 (J2-1562) surveyed the seafloor at Slope Base to locate and mark a cable for potential recovery in 2024. Jason was back onboard early this morning, and the Thompson headed back to port. The vessel arrived at the NOAA dock of ~1500 local time. Demobilization commenced then and is expected to be completed by Thursday September 20. Well done, team!
