In preparation for Expedition 329: South Pacific Gyre, the JR is now transiting from Victoria, B.C. to Papeete, Tahiti. But even during a transit, work continues. Staff on the ship are conducting rig maintenance, including replacement of the aft coring line and re-spooling of the forward coring line. New coring line has been rigged up on the pipe racker catwalk.
