This was my favorite quote...
"Anytime we see a good cobble, we're going to jam on the brakes and go after it," Squyres assured rock hounds, "but right now we're just trying to cover as much distance as possible."

Perhaps the best news of all for Opportunity this month is that it has not had any repeat of the current spike it experienced on the left front actuator a couple months ago. "Everything's back pretty much to normal," said Matijevic. "We've been checking the draw on the drive actuators after every drive and they've been generally all within nominal levels. So we're just going to keep moving along."

Here goes a suggestion, since we are following Endeavour's how about taking locations, currents and navigational terms directly connected to Cook's journey?
And since we are leaving the port the following name sounds sooo appropriate and...catchy!

"Sailing the Sound"...Sounds just perfect in my opinion...
I love old charts...here's a couple:
