World is Flat

If someone told me 500 years ago that the world was round, I would knock him out...or maybe just try to exclude him from my groups of friends. Flat or round, I was pretty blown away by finally being out in the open water. It's somewhat of a difficult feeling to explain, it's nothing spiritual or awe-inspiring, but just really, really cool. Seas were relatively calm, the work was fun, the crew was great, and the food was delicious. So I have much to talk about, but it is nearing bedtime and also an early wake up, so the blog on the cruise will have to wait until tomorrow where I have a long block of time to type away.



Rainbow is for Zenga


CTD - I forget the Acronym, something like Conductivy Temperature and not Depth. Each little bottle holds 12L. It gets lowered to a depth and on the ascent each bottle gets water at a certain depth. CTD depths ranged from 150m-500m to up to 4200m deep(2.6 miles)

I worked a little on the cruise too.
