Cruise-goers Andria, Pierre, and Rickie just touched land after a stormy winter North East Shelf Long Term Ecological Research Site cruise. With seas over 15ft and winds gusting over 50kt, the R/V Endeavor went into hiding next to Martha’s Vineyard occasionally; however, nothing to stop our science! The team was still able to occupy all planned stations and were welcomed home with open arms just in time to start a fresh semester. The image shows the science party.
