Dale Chayes and Chief Scientist Rolf Gradinger offer a warm welcome to NSBSAR pilots Chuck Bensow and Hugh Patkotak. After flying a needed ROV part from Barrow, Alaska to the USCGC HEALY in the Arctic Ocean, the pilots received lunch, fuel, a tour of the ship, and many rounds of thanks before beginning their return flight to Barrow.
