Ready to go home

At the end of an expedition everyone’s eager to get home. Here the R/V Sikuliaq approaches NOAA’s pier in Newport, OR, but there’s one more chore to do – get that recovered equipment off the deck.  You might be surprised at how quickly a motivated crew and science party can offload.  Within 2 and half hours of docking, this deck was clear!  As always, the Endurance 16 team appreciated the kind assistance and cooperation offered by the NOAA Marine Operations Center-Pacific (MOC-P).
