Fellow Adventure-ers at Sea and C-IMAGE readers, it is that time of the research expedition when the sampling gear has been secured on deck, the lab equipment is being packed in dry boxes, and the science team is packing luggage. Yepper this C-IMAGE February 2013 expedition has come to a close as we are sailing pack to port in St. Petersburg, Florida. Matt MacGregor, our C-IMAGE Teacher at Sea from Escambia High School and I (Teresa Greely) would like to thank the science team for teaching us the science of the sea and training us to work as part of the science team. We also wish to thank the crew of the WBII for their help with the onboard comforts and assistance with internet access so we could Skype and blog during the expedition (especially, Andrew Warren). Thanks for the countless memories, sea stories and science research and lessons learned throughout the expedition. Thank you C-IMAGE Scientists, Leslie Schwierzke-Wade and Kendra Daly for welcoming us aboard as part of the science team.
