It's now 5:00pm. Unfortunately, more bad weather has started coming. The seas are being reported to rise to 20 feet tonight and stay that way for all of tomorrow! The Captain has now called off all mooring work due to the high seas and has decided we should to head to port. Thermistors attached the SE mooring show the shelfbreak front advecting back and forth across the mooring with the tides.
We are going to arrive back at WHOI a day earlier than expected and are
leaving 3 sources behind still in the water. Once
again, the weather has been the determining factor in what we get to do
and when we get to do it. Nevertheless, everything we have planned to do,
we have done.
