Day: August 27, 2014

I have now spent over a week on this ship and still enjoy every moment.

I also think it is going to be hard to sleep when I get home. I’ve really come to like the rocking of the ship as I fall asleep.

There’s really no way to describe the experience I’ve had thus far sailing on the Thomas G. Thompson with the VISIONS’14 crew.

I want to stay longer, I love this environment. It’s amazing seeing what really happens in the realm of science past school, past what’s confined at the university and in labs.

It’s been a fantastic journey aboard the Tommy Thompson, a journey that is quickly coming to an end.

I am glad I stayed up … not just to see the highlights from the seafloor but also to see the sunrise, which was soft and beautiful.

This is a pretty remarkable time to be alive, and an even better one to be young. Life here on planet Earth seems to be changing, slowly now, but already the difference between life today and life 20 years ago is astounding

This is the kind of supportive and strenuous environment is exactly what I hoped I’d experience on my leg of Visions’14, and what I will strive to be part of, both professionally and personally, in the future

I was enthralled with the poems and stories that were shared by chief scientists, students, and crew alike.
