The ship track of the research vessel Seward Johnson during the Estuary
to the Abyss Expedition. Equipment problems and a family emergency sent the ship
to Charleston twice. Tropical Storm Gaston forced the ship south for an impromptu
exploration of reefs and scarps east of Jacksonville, Florida. The storm made landfall
in Charleston, where all but two of the scientists aboard ship live. Hurricane
Frances will ensure that the ship returns on schedule to Ft. Pierce, Florida
on Wednesday, September 1. Its predicted track takes it toward Florida by the
end of the week.
