Spring in the North Pacific can bring pretty high winds and seas.  When the Endurance 16 team gets good weather, they press on through long days. Here Alex Wick and Kristin Politano get a subsurface float into position on the R/V Sikuliaq during an evening mooring deployment on the OOI Spring Endurance cruise.

The Endurance 16 OOI science party and R/V Sikuliaq crew deploy the Washington shelf mooring.  The new mooring will sit side-by-side for a few days with the mooring deployed in September to cross-validate the data.
