Good Evening! We are getting to that point in the trip where tired is setting in. The science team has worked incredibly hard. The physical and mental endurance required, to keep it all going, has me thinking Energizer can ditch the pink bunny and use the NAAMES crew instead. I sat on the deck today thinking about home. Wishing that the roll of the ship would stop for a moment--just a moment. My body feeling heavy from the constant struggle to maintain my equilibrium. Then gratitude set in. I KNOW I will miss this. When I am sitting in Atlanta traffic, where nothing rolls, I will think about these waves. I will remember this day. A moment, when this rainbow painted the sky with its brilliant colors.

This blog is not about the science as much as the people behind it. I will leave the science discoveries to the 32 bright minds onboard. So how does a floating lab work? Let's figure it out together.
