Well, it seems that the Ronald Brown has a problem with one of the electric propulsion motors. That means that the cruise we were scheduled to begin on Monday has been canceled. The folks at NOAA will be looking for an alternate for me and Art on Monday. While missing the Stratus 10 Cruise is a real bummer, it is much more difficult for the scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution that have been working for a year to prepare for this cruise. Both Art and I want to wish them luck in finding a back-up vessel soon so that the mission can continue even if it is without the MontanaTeachersAtSea. We will keep everyone up to speed with any news regarding out journey.

Rick,
ReplyDeleteQuick get on another ship before you have to come back to Montana, snow, and below 0 temps, all of which we have.
Wish I was there.
