Port day

Ed Dever, OSU

The Endurance 16 team deploys enough equipment on the Endurance mooring cruises that they have a port stop to unload the gear deployed on leg 1 and load the leg 2 gear.  It goes pretty fast.  Within 24 hrs, the team has the leg 1 gear unloaded and the leg 2 gear loaded and tested.  Here, Sikuliaq crew member Langston and OOI science party member Kristin Politano work together to help bring a mooring bottom lander to the deck. The anchor recovery float is the orange object in the center of the lander.
