The third MEGARA scientific mission took place on March 13-17, 2017, and included placing an Argos beacon in the fatty tissue of one humpback whale and taking skin samples from two such whales. In contrast to the beacons placed in 2014, this most recent one does not emit anything for the moment.

Mary K. Bercaw Edwards, Melville Scholar: And he sailed down around Cape Horn, and up into the Pacific. And when he got to the Marquesas, he jumped ship and spent a month ashore. Then joined a second whaleship, an Australian whaleship, named the Lucy Ann, and onboard her he was involved in a mutiny, eventually incarcerated in a Tahitian jail, escaped from that. And then joined his third whaleship, which was a Nantucket whaleship, the Charles M. Henry. So if you heard the story of his life, you wouldn't actually believe that it had really happened. I mean, it sounds like a made-up life. But it's a real life, and it's very similar to others.
Eric Jay Dolin, Writer: At the end of World War I, there were only a couple of dozen whaleships remaining, and some of them were making more money as props in silent movies than they were whaling.
Nathaniel Philbrick, Writer: Years later, when a young woman asked her mother, "What is the Essex?" The mother said, "Miss Molly, we do not talk about the Essex on Nantucket." It was the buried secret that everyone whispered about - but it was nothing that anyone publicly wanted to talk about. All the survivors of the Essex would go back to sea, within months of their return. But Owen Chase, the most aggressive of all the whaleman, he was the one who would never be able to escape the tragedy. And even though he was able to have an exemplary whaling career, the Essex was something he could not shake. Because he would be the one who late in life would begin to hide food in his attic, would have headaches that he could not control, and would eventually have to be institutionalized. And George Pollard? He seems to have dealt with the disaster. He would go back to sea on the whaleship Two Brothers and they fetch up on French Frigate Shoals, southwest of Hawaii, in a storm. The ship is pounded to pieces by the coral, and that was the end of his whaling career. He would become the town night watchman. Every November 20th, he would lock himself in his room and fast in memory of those who had died on the Essex. And everyone who met him, commented on what an extraordinary man he was, including Herman Melville the summer after he published Moby Dick who would write, in the back pages of his own copy of Owen Chase's Narrative of the Essex, "Met Captain Pollard on Nantucket. To most islanders a nobody. To me, one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met." And after Melville dies, there is a note that's pasted to his writing desk, that says: "Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. " And I think with Moby Dick, he achieved those dreams. I mean, with all the darkness included. And yet, it dropped silently into the reading public.

Enjoy breakfast and then pack the kayaks for another stunning paddle amongst the numerous massive stones arches and sea caves on route to the most northern tip of San Jose called Punta Calabozo. This a wonderful spot for lunch over the azure waters. To the north you can view Isla San Diego and in the distance the larger Isla Santa Cruz. Keep an eye out for sea lions and whales cruising by to the east and west in the deeper channels. After lunch we will be passing some impressive caves that you can serpentine through. What an unbelievable place to paddle and explore. Depending on the weather and the wind direction we will pick one of two beaches on the northwest side on San Jose to be our camp spot. Dinner and movie 'au naturel'. The sea-scape is your feature film this evening and with a little luck we will catch a glimpse of manta rays, whales and dolphins swimming up the channel between the island and the mainland. Our first trips here we saw hundreds of dolphins swimming and leaping into the air through this vary spot. 2ff7e9595c
