Matthew's Journal

Happy Halloween, everyone! We here on the Ronald Brown are getting into the Halloween spirit. The women among the science party have disappeared and murderous pirates have taken their place. The shrill battle cry of "Arrrgh!" echoed across the mess deck during lunch. The balloon for today's 16 UTC sounding was replaced with the Great Pumpkin who spreads Halloween cheer. To all of you who may be in Raleigh, go enjoy the Haunted Hillsborough Hike for me.

Dan Wolfe and Lelia Hawkins prepare the Great Pumpkin for release
