The Endurance 20 team took advantage of the good weather to load most of what was needed for the first leg of the National Science Foundation Ocean Observatories Initiative Endurance Array 20 expedition. Most of the day was spent installing and tension testing two large winches: a Heavy Lift Winch and the UNOLS West Coast Winch Pool’s Hawboldt Winch. The team finished the day by placing the buoy of the Washington Shelf Surface Mooring under the A-frame and connecting the mooring’s components together.
