Some pix of oceanographic expeditions aboard the R/V Pillsbury of the University of Miami (FL) in 1966 thru 1968.
Ports of Call included cities in Africa, South America and several Caribbean islands.
Enduring highlights:
The glass-like interface (literally) between the Mid-Atlantic Current and the Mid-Atlantic Undercurrent--flowing in opposite directions!
Collecting Sahara Desert Dust all the way across the Atlantic Ocean.
The amazing wonders of life in the open sea.
The wonderful people all around the world.
