July 1998
Operation Pathfinder's voyage aboard the "OnRust" departed Port Jefferson Harbor for 40 days and 40 nights.  OnRust's mission was to collect physical and biological marine data from Long Island Sound.  Crewmembers reported severe weather storms, a scurvy outbreak, and detrimental equipment failure.  Despite cumbersome set-backs, spirits were high amongst crewmembers and their mission was accomplished.
