An entry in "Western Region Marine and Coastal Surveys Bulletin", June 7, 1996: MACARTHUR CRUISE Our weather-worn McArthur scientific crew returned to terra firma on Sunday, having completed another 400 square km of mapping on the outer shelf off Santa Cruz and Ano Nuevo. The outer shelf off Ano Nuevo was declared by side-scan sonar watchstanders Galanis, Kinoshita, Medrano, Stevenson, Eittreim, and Lewis to be perhaps the most boring piece of seafloor on the face of the earth, with the possible exception of the deep Bering Sea. Now that it is done, at least we'll never have to return again. Moderately high winds kept the lively ship McArthur true to her reputation, although extraordinary skill in line planning kept her moving either dead down-wind, or upwind, keeping the rolls to a minimum. 400-m line spacing with the Klein 100 kHz side-scan and 1-kHz Geopulse high-resolution gives us a nearly complete and dense coverage of the continental shelf of Monterey Bay proper. Last minute snafus in scheduling nearly resulted in abandonment of the cruise, but our Marine Facility folks pulled it out of the fire for us with some extraordinarily creative and flexible manpower deployments, including Gann and Kooker onboard as technical brainpower. Thanks to NOAA's PR savvy, the cruise was heavy with lots of outreachy stuff: press conferences onboard on May 28 and June 2, resulting in several TV news program scoops and articles in the SC Sentinel (front page), the Monterey Herald, and other newspapers.
