Today we set sail on the R/V Neil Armstrong for its 49th science cruise. ADEON is accompanied this year by the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Jason team. There has been a nasty storm on the NE Coast, and by delaying a day we will hopefully miss the full force of the storm.  It will be a very bumpy ride for the first 12 hours until we emerge to the south of the storm.  Send thoughts of strength and calm stomachs to our soon to be seasick science crew.
