23 Aug - Plume water sampling & docking in Astoria

Antonio Baptista provided another set of plume way-points, but this set included CTD-only points between the water sampling points. Sites were adjusted to allow time to get to the dock in Astoria that evening. The captain estimated 3.5 hours to get from near the estuary mouth to the dock. We collected samples at five stations, 2 depths each for a total of 10 samples. We completed our final cast near the estuary mouth at 1610, motored into the estuary, and docked at Pier 2 in Astoria. Jude Apple, Dale Hubbard, and Nate Hyde got off the ship, and Joanna Green, Matthew Kalisz, and Brian Nelson got on.
