Before we sailed into the bay area to drop off Robbie (SSSG), Catie (SSSG), Jennifer (Lead Scientist), and Aaron Berry (Kongsberg), we ran a test on the EK 80, multibeam, and sonardyne USBL acoustic navigation system.

Thursday, we passed under the Golden Gate Bridge and arrived in San Francisco Bay. We said our goodbyes to all those leaving the vessel and got to work. Grace and I started clearing out the bio lab and setting up monitors with raspberry pi in all the labs displaying real-time information (sea temp, latitude, longitude, speed, etc.). As we left San Francisco, we sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

The rest of the week, as we cruised the Pacific Ocean, we cleaned, unloaded lab equipment, and started to set up the labs.
