Mike Kong, Vladimir Bakhmutov, Dan Torres, and Russ Hopcroft help guide the swinging rosette to its pallet during a swell. The rosette weighs 760 pounds even without bottles or instruments and is deployed and recovered by a winch-wire. During heavy seas or a swell, the rosette can be hard to control both on deck and in the water. Image courtesy of 2009 RUSALCA Expedition, RAS-NOAA.
