The weather finally settled down enough for the Endurance 19 Team to get back to sea and continue mooring recoveries and deployments.  During Leg 2, the Team aboard the R/V Atlantis deployed, the Oregon Shelf Surface Mooring and Offshore Surface Mooring.  These deployments made room on the ship for the recovery of the Inshore and Offshore Surface Moorings and the Inshore Coastal Surface Profiler Mooring.  Lead Scientist Ed Dever attributed” great ship handling” that made it possible to  accomplish Leg 2 objectives under not so great conditions (25 knots wind).
