RRS James Cook sets sail for the North Sea

RRS James Cook set sail from Southampton on Thursday morning on its transit to the experiment site in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. After a minor heatwave over the Easter break, the temperature was a little chillier as they waved goodbye to the National Oceanography Centre.

Scientists and engineers on board are now busy with final equipment preparations ready for arrival on site in a couple of days. All the news from onboard can be found at stemmccs.blog.
