The R/V Donna M

Another day of AUV/ROV operations. This time aboard the Donna M.

Dr. Doug Levin operated the ROV, in search of sponge communities.

I was assigned to work with the ROV as tether maintenance crew.

Hey Dad! Look what I caught!

TIDE Goes Aboard The R/V Sharp

On Monday, the 13th, I was able to join the TIDE program on the R/V Sharp, the University's research vessel.

We conducted an AUV mission, ROV operations, dredges, and a Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) scan. The voyage was to the New Jersey side of Delaware Bay. The day was a success in many ways.

A Happy Independence Day

Last night I went out with a few of the interns to see the fireworks in Lewes, and got more of an experience than I was expecting. All up and down the Bay the towns were setting off their fireworks, and with the open view, we could see them all. The night sky was lit up with the fireworks as far north as Slaughter Beach and across the Bay on New Jersey's Cape May. It truly felt like we were celebrating our Independence together as a town, state, country. Some time I may come back and watch from the bay on my future yacht.
