It might seem and feel like operation fast and furious but it’s all planned to a tee. The team had only a short time to turn around between two cruises in July and August. A week and a bit, not enough even to get past dock rock, but off they go again. Julia Pamphile this time joins Pierre and Rickie on our regular summer sojourn to the NES-LTER transect. Hurray for a special opportunity to see repeat sample the same environment within a few short days. Fair winds and following seas or no seas at all to a super trooper gang!
