Two anchors were recovered — the Washington Offshore Profiling mooring anchor and the Washington Offshore surface mooring anchor — and the R/V Atltantis and the Endurance 19 team headed for Astoria and home.  The team arrived in port on Saturday October 7 to begin the process of offloading the quite full ship, then loading trucks to return the moorings to Corvallis to begin the refurbishment process for the next recovery and deployment expedition.

The Endurance 19 team should be applauded for successfully completing its mission, in spite of non-cooperative weather and sea-state conditions.
