All ROV dive and primary mapping operations may be completed for this expedition but there isn't much time to rest yet. We only have about 1.5 days of transit left before we arrive in Panama on the morning of July 28. That is not much time for Mission personnel to review and complete the long list of expedition products we are expected to have finished when we hit the dock. Ship personnel are working to catch action items that couldn't be tackled during primary operations.
