Profiler Recovery and Troubleshooting

As Leg 3 of the Spring 2025 Coastal Endurance Turn Cruise (SR2511) continues, the R/V Sally Ride team successfully recovered the Washington Inshore Coastal Surface Piercing Profiler (CE06ISSP-00019). The crew also troubleshooted the Washington Offshore Profiler Mooring (CE04OSPM-00022) to assess and address operational issues.

The team worked in 5–7-foot seas, with air temperatures between 52–55°F and winds ranging from 10 to 20 knots, under partly cloudy skies. Despite dynamic conditions, all activities remained within safe operating limits.

The forecast remains favorable, and the team is on track to dock Friday at 10:00 AM in Newport.

During the long transit, several crew members made use of the ship’s gym, located just above the vessel’s acoustic transducers.
