Jason Goodman's Labrador Sea Cruise Letters

The image below shows the cruise track of the R/V Knorr through the Labrador Sea between Feb 6 and March 13. Each of the numbers correspond to a letter written to my friends from that part of the cruise. Click on the numbers to read the letter. Eventually, there will be links in the letters to my photos as well. Note that letters 1 through 6 and 25 through 30 lie off the map: the former were written in Halifax and on the way to the Lab Sea; the latter were written during the return cruise to Woods Hole. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
