It’s been a long time since I’ve seen sargassum seaweed. The brilliant blue Atlantic Ocean has such a different feel, smell, and color than that of the Pacific. Sailing over the dark blue long-period waves and working among humpbacks, kelp patties, and Japanese tsunami debris is my typical science cruise. It’s good to be back east and to be reminded of the profound, yet subtle differences of these two great oceans. -Ernie Aaron
