Senior Research Specialist Dan Frye and Senior Engineering Assistant Will Ostrom savor another successful buoy and mooring deployment by the WHOI mooring and engineering team.  The research team set Gumbymoor–an experimental mooring system that uses ultra-stretchy rubber hoses, reinforced with nylon, that can stretch to twice their unstretched length—for a trial run in the WHOI buoy test field.
