Arrival

• Please meet at the west parking lot of the Oceanography Teaching Building http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/southwest.html?63,68,457,901 by 6:30 AM. Drive south on 15^th Avenue NE next to campus, cross Pacific Street at the stoplight (or turn off Pacific onto 15^th Avenue NE southbound), and follow the road as it curves toward the east. You will see a cul-de-sac on the right, and the parking lot if off of that.
• You can park on the street, in the lot where we meet, or on the east side of the Ocean Teaching Building. Parking is free on campus on Sundays.
• We cannot wait for latecomers because crew will be waiting for us at Pier 66 downtown.
• Please notify me ASAP if you cannot make the trip. If you canÕt make it but donÕtÕ know until Sunday morning, please call my cell phone 206-713-0246.
• We will be driving 4 vans. We will need 3 volunteers with driverÕs licenses to drive in addition to me.

On the Cruise

• Breakfast will be available once we board the ship before beginning work. Lunch will also be served. Please notify me ASAP if you need a vegetarian or vegan meal.
• We will divide into three groups to conduct three activities at three different locations (stations) off Seattle. We plan to return to UW through the Ship Canal by about 5 PM.
• You will have a written exercise sheet, but it will not be graded. As long as you pay attention and participate fully in the activities, you will receive full (extra) credit for the cruise.
