JOURNALIST AT SEA

On to calmer waters...

4/2/2018

...but not before the North Atlantic put on a spectacular show.  Words will never fully convey the feeling of standing on the deck of this ship, a vessel that has brought home so many secrets of the sea, as the waves dance to 25 feet-the mist painting vivid rainbows that surround you.  This brings out the childhood smile on Christmas morning...in adults.

A quick look at yesterday...

Those waves are really big. I know that it feels different when you're in a ship and seeing all these waves coming for you. But since I have a bit of fear in deep waters as I feel like its going to take over me, I don't enjoy looking at it. I feel frightened instead. But a story in North Atlantic is different, and I feel like I need to experience it too. Isn't it late for me to do this, or just in time? Well, I also don't know, I hope to get get of this phobia once I am at the moment already!

    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.....

    The Ship

    The R/V Atlantis is an impressive ship, a 275-foot, steel-hulled research vessel operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
