These folks came with Biologist Louis Fortier. He's the guy in yellow in the middle of the front row. This group was truely multi-national...three guys from Japan, a whole bunch of Canadians (both French and English speaking) and some Americans (USA-types).

These people are Eddy Carmack, Fiona McLaughlin and Doug Sieberg. Three really awesome people to know and work with! They are all from Canada, the Institute of Ocean Sciences.

This is Gary. He is the carpenter onboard the Louis S. St-Laurent. He is THE best! In this pic, he is reassembling my totally dilapidated shipping box...it has since been recycled into mulch. :) It should have been float tested before Gary put it back together! Thanks, Gary!

Captain Gomes (on the RIGHT) and the First Mate...for the life of me I can't remember his name. Sorry!
