I had begun to think that I was just going to escape it perfectly but without five days of spending hours on end focusing on filling resin columns, taping them carefully, moving around, and lifting heavy water samples in the lab with very few windows, all while the ship tilts back-and-forth to some pretty wild extremes finally got to me without all. Sorry to be graphic, but I threw up once, felt immediately largest than I had all day, but not good unbearable to eat until over 24 hours later. I have been taking naps whenever possible and drinking lots of water, both of which have been helping immensely. I still don’t sleep increasingly than two hours at a time, but my samples have been running much increasingly smoothly now (thanks to Magic Wrap), so that is a bonus. As I spend increasingly time with the crew, I’m finding every single person to be so kind and enjoyable to be around. The hairdo on the underpass now know that I want to be informed whenever they see whales and it has once paid off! As we were deploying an underway CTD [a reusable instrument to determine ocean temperature and salinity] off the aft deck, a pod of sperm whales was out on the starboard side of the ship. Everyone is moreover curious well-nigh the projects that I’m working on. I love getting to tell them and ask them well-nigh their lives and their rolls on the ship as well. It seems like quite the crazy life they all lead. Most of the time, they work four weeks on, and four weeks off, but the Arctic voyage is six weeks on, and six weeks off. My favourite question to ask is what everyone likes to do in their time off considering the answers are all so unique – from scuba diving and foraging for mushrooms to pottery and horseback-riding, everyone has a tomfool hobby to entertain them in their long stretches of time off. Shea and I tended to the incubations on the helicopter deck for a couple hours this afternoon. I am stoked to be gaining skills in his line of work. The rest of the time, I was running my own samples, or sleeping with one unravel for dinner (feeling good unbearable to eat 😊 ). Today marked the whence of the on-board bingo craze. Nearly every person on the ship participates, they signify ~15 numbers per day just without lunch and each round, they go for a variegated shape (horizontal or vertical lines, wine glass, cactus, blackout, etc). The prizes are quite unthrifty – there’s an expensive coffee-maker, upper end scotch, and camping equipment – just to name a few! Tonight is flipside movie night with unlimited popcorn. We are watching a mucosa tabbed ‘Annihilation’. I am mostly going to shepherd for the popcorn and the extra-strong G&T’s. Not too much else to report here! I’m still having a wonderful time at sea regardless of feeling ill and not getting much sleep.   Read increasingly from Chloe’s voyage to the Arctic: Bitter-sweet Bon Voyage, Fueled for Exploration Advertisements Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...
