"We land at Juneau today, one day ahead of schedule. Rod Combellick, a NOAA man who came along to help and to be liaison between scientists and ship's officers, lives in Juneau and thinks it's the best place on earth. The other scientists who've been there consider Juneau their favorite Alaskan city."
The Discoverer's crew has readied the landing lines and waits for the ship to reach the dock at Juneau, August 13, 1979. This marked the end of cruise D-2-79, and from here the scientific party dispersed. I went on to Yakutat, where I took part in land-based fieldwork for a week with some of the same people who sailed from Kodiak with me two weeks earlier.
