JOURNALIST AT SEA

Four Days Out...

One of my favorite parts of sitting on a beach is the wonder that you find there.  Perhaps, you know what I am talking about.  The unconfined excitement of the littlest of ones--mom struggling to put on that last bit of suntan lotion as they gaze eagerly at the ocean—and the treasures that they will find.  You can almost feel their eager energy as they pull away to explore. Within minutes, you see them in there with their colorful buckets or tiny fishing nets--just looking to catch something, anything.  Then comes the squeal of excitement,  “fish” mom, look, “fish.” 
 
The curiosity of a child.  The amazement in what we can sometimes perceive as common place as the years take hold of us.  Out here—that juvenile curiosity and thirst to understand is fueled by a base of study to know even more. The idea that the answers are known and we can stop looking doesn’t exist.
 
Here is the grown-up version of that kid on the beach with his/her fishing net and some examples of the fascinating ocean life that we catch in our buckets of exploration.

I would rather sit in front of a beach than go partying with people who are drunk. There is something special we can get when we are at the beach, especially if you consider the place as your safe zone. I love your realization while you were at that moment. It takes a strong person to realized those things, and I am happy to see that this idea strikes on you. On the other hand, I just want to tell you how good of a writer you are.

    I love surprises, they give us the opportunity to dive into the unknown with unquenchable curiosity.  Two years ago, I made the decision to leave my job as an Atlanta television reporter. I moved home to Massachusetts and found myself on Cape Cod with no job and no idea of what was next, no idea about the pure magic that was about to enter my life.  A friend of mine called and asked me to do a favor for a small radio station where she had just taken a job.  All I had to do was go to Woods Hole, MA and interview a scientist about a mission called the NASA_NAAMES project.  That scientist would end up changing my life and perspective in ways I am still trying to find the words to fully explain.  After a discussion about their impending journey at sea--an invitation to join them. Though, Mike Behrenfeld and I still disagree on who asked who we DO agree on the result--a fantastic partnership was born.  With less than twenty four hours notice I was on a ship headed to parts of the North Atlantic that few ever see in winter AND for good reason!! The conditions can be intense!   At the time, given the challenges at sea and my video equipment being limited to one tiny little camera .
    (RE: 24 hours notice) this blog became a way for me to communicate with the family members whose loved ones were so far away.  Giving them an onboard look at the fascinating work at the hands of those they call family. Fast forward we are at it again!! This time as the scientists dive deeper into all that is unseen in our oceans--we will dive deeper into their research, the incredible sacrifices that come with that and the love that fuels their mission of discovery. The journey continues March 20th.....
