The Anticipation

Following the final cruise planning session on Thursday afternoon, the first of our crew PI Ben Van Mooy fled the East Coast for Honolulu. The final preparations are being put into place as the remaining members of the Quorum Sensing Team leaves Woods Hole, Massachusetts at 5 O' clock Saturday morning. The pace in the lab is frantic but morale is high as people pack the last remaining essentials. We anticipate a relaxing evening Saturday in preparation for the official expedition start with the arrival of the Kilo Moana on Sunday morning.
