Today the ADEON team arrived at WHOI to start the 2-3 days of loading equipment and preparing for sea aboard the R/V Neil Armstrong.  We hit a bit of luck and got all of the equipment loaded in a light mist before the heavy rain began. We are due to depart on Sunday morning Nov 19, but the weather forecast may force a delay.  Of crucial importance was a discussion on what type of cranberry sauce to have on board for Thanksgiving.  Jen adamantly voiced her preference jellied Ocean Spray cranberry sauce in a can, while the majority of the team boasted the attributes of homemade cranberry relish.
