Don't worry y'all, I'm not dead, I just wish I was. It's been pretty brutal out here weather-wise, and it has been really hard on morale. The weather has been bad enough that we're on day four of not being allowed to go outside at all, and that has been making everyone very grumpy. This ship isn't big enough for all of us to be in here. Day one felt like rainy day recess in school where we all hang out and enjoy some novelty. But that wore off fast. The deck hands practiced k

The sea state is definitely starting to pick up and I am feeling not so good. But don’t worry, I have a dragon hoard of saltines and some ginger candy so I’ll be fine. But it’s also still going to get a lot worse. Here’s how we’re looking as of this afternoon, just trust me that a video won’t convey the feeling: Nothing really is happening other than trying to convince my body that I feel normal, so I almost didn’t post today.

They did it, they found another morale activity that I can get down for, and it's rubber ducks.

I am once again catching up on many days, so sorry this is also kind of a long one. It's coming out a little extra late because it's Monday and you know what that means. DRILLS! It's approximately the temperature of the surface of the sun here, so we all had a really good time. We have concluded leg one of our journey, and have had a brief layover at the island of Aitutaki. It was cruel, we saw land but couldn't go. We dropped off a few people and picked a few new folks up. W

Okay y'all I know I'm behind, so we're going to do a big catch up today. I counted and today is officially day 19 so I'm going to get back on track with my counting. When I started this blog I thought it would be a bad idea to list the day number in the title because I thought I would lose track. And that's exactly what happened, I know myself. But that means this post will be a bit of a brain dump just to get you caught up, so strap in. First we discovered that we had a stow

I just wanted sour candy but everything is weird here and I ended up with this guy Also SHARK!! It’s a white tip shark, and you can see a humpback farther in the background. Ignore all the commentary, we don’t have the official video yet.
