All Moorings Aboard

In spite of the loss of a day of recovery operations due to weather, the Pioneer 19 team successfully secured the last of three moorings to be recovered during the first leg of the Pioneer 19 expedition.  Three surface buoys from the recovered moorings were securely strapped to the deck, then power washed to remove as much of the six months of biofouling as possible.
