With a tug of the release line, Brian Guest allows the glider to float free of the lifting cradle and begin its mission across the Gulf Stream. Researchers on the R/V Cape Hatteras launched the glider approximately 80 nautical miles south of Nantucket Island, Cape Cod, Mass.  After traveling approximately 650 nautical miles for 40 to 50 days, the mission will conclude in Bermuda.
