Good Morning!

Today started out beautifully, as you can see on the left, or port side.

Most of my morning was then taken up with meetings and other things that tend to make me want to fall asleep, but then in the afternoon I went out on the Deep Blue Antarctic Sea with my fellow Boating II/OSAR people: Sara, Shawn, Eric, and Capt. Steve Barten, our Palmer Station Boating Coordinator. We learned a lot about how to navigate the sometimes treacherous Antarctic waters safely, but also how to have a good time viewing wildlife, such as Giant petrels and Humpback whales.
