Logbook

July 31: Day #12


Crewman Doug gets pensive as we approach the Yakina Bay Bridge upon our return to Newport, Oregon.

Log Entry: We are finally back in Oregon. After a 21-hour steam and waiting patiently for the tide to come in, we finally reached the dock at 8 p.m. Pacific time. We all got a good rest, and put off the unloading until morning. Everybody seems happy to be back on land! The science party will be back here again in just a few weeks for their second cruise of the summer. Check back to this website at the end of August to read about their next adventure at sea on the Mendecino Fracture Zone!
