Last Day in Port






It was a busy day getting our instrument, the Deep This is our last night in port. It was a busy day getting our instrument, the DeepMicrostructure Profiler, put together. I finally figured out how to upload pictures so here are a few pictures I taken. This is the ship we will be spending all our time on. The back is where all the research happens as your can see all the wenches for lifting and deploying instruments. The other pictures are my living quarters! I share the room, but it's not to bad, although I say this before I have actually spent a night on the ship!! We ship off at 9 in the morning tomorrow and I will be working the midnight to noon shift. It's going to be weird adjusting to the sleep schedule, but won't be too bad since most of the day is daylight anyways. So far the ships food has been excellent, but I'm told the quality tapers off as the fresh foods are exhausted! I'll try to keep updates as frequently as possible, but these will most likely be the only pictures until I get back.

ciao,
-J
