We have just completed our first cruise from the mouth of the Cape Fear into the Gulf Stream region. We went from winter to summer and back to winter again all in 3 days. HUGE thanks to the Captain and crew of RV Cape Hatteras for the expert navigation and deck work to get us out there and back all safe and sound. I have also never participated in such an interdisciplinary cruise. I learned so much from my colleagues, collaborators and students! Niskin bottles rinsed and ready for the next one.
