Let’s cast off the lines, shove off, and head out to do the work. No foot will be set on land for the next nine days. One of the first duties after leaving port is to have a general meeting of the scientific party to discuss the plan for the research and to set up the watchstanding responsibilities.

Off we go, below the bay bridge and past Treasure Island

 

Let’s join chief scientist John Chin and co-chief scientist Don Reed for a discussion of the survey and the individual responsibilities for the work.
