We woke up bright and early Friday morning to watch land disappear. How many times does someone get to say that in their lifetime? Well, if you are a science at sea guy or gal you probably get that thrill a bunch. For a journalist who, until yesterday, didn't even know this opportunity existed it was thrilling.
Like with everything in life sometimes the hardest part of the adventure is letting go of the dock and swimming away from safe harbor.
My place on this ship came as a surprise to everyone including me. Until now, many of these missions have resulted in some amazing discoveries and fascinating papers that the best in science minds eat up like candy to a kid on Halloween.
But there is so much more to life working at sea and that is where I come in. Over the next 26 days I hope to introduce you to the brilliant minds behind the research, explain how a floating lab works and try to figure out how exactly one showers on a rocking boat.
