Video log from the sixth, and ultimately final day of the expedition. Divers had success early on sampling bedrock chert at Unit 2 of the Brownstone site, but their work came to an abrupt halt when a large wave swamped one of the dredge engines. Unable to use the dredge, scientists decided to spend the rest of the day surveying the site and collecting their tools before heading back to shore for an early conclusion to the expedition.
