Leg 172 met or exceeded all of our expectations. We achieved greater penetration and cored more holes than planned, and we even managed to survey and occupy a site that was not part of the original program. For these successes we thank the Sedco and ODP shipboard personnel. We also thank the government of the Bahamas for granting us permission to drill at Site 1062. We are particularly indebted to the marine technicians, whose skill, knowledge, and perseverance kept the core and data flowing throughout the cruise. We thank the National Science Foundation for funding the Knorr 140/2 site survey cruise. However, that cruise would not have been possible without the considerable work done on the Blake-Bahama Outer Ridge and the Bermuda Rise by those who came before us on previous drilling cruises and numerous other cruises from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Duke University. Data collected on those cruises over more than 30 years, and archived with care by the ODP Data Bank, provided the foundation for Leg 172.
