Crew member Chris waves as the Auklet leaves the Cordova Harbor on this pretty wet morning! On board are Captain Dave Janka, Mark Halverson, Kerstin Cullen and Rebekkah Federer (and Chris).
Even with the damp weather (and more threatening in a day...), spirits were high. Along with plankton nets, CTDs and computers, at least one guitar and banjo were loaded on board (just in case there's "down" time).
After a safety briefing, the boat left at just after 9 a.m.
They'll do hydrographic and some biological sampling later today, weather permitting... the winds were calm as they pulled out but have kicked up in Cordova this afternoon.
Pictured above is the Auklet leaving with the PWS Science Center building to the right.
