Third Surface Mooring Deployed

The rear deck of the R/V Neil Armstrong is feeling a little empty with the successful deployment of the third and final surface mooring.  This time it was the Southern Surface Mooring. The skies had cleared, the swell lessened, and many on the back deck saw a humpback whale breech as the mooring entered into the water. The whale must have been curious about this huge blue and yellow creature entering its territory. Hopefully they will peacefully coexist.
