Next week, I will be heading to Alaska to meet up with the USCGC Healy. For five weeks, I will be living onboard the ship and working as an intern! This will be my third experience this far north, and my second time in Alaska, but this will be first time being there this close to winter. I am excited to work on such an impressive ship, and reading about the experiences of the past interns has made me even more eager to get started. I anticipate gaining a lot of hands-on time in the next few weeks, and I hope you will follow along with me on this cruise though my upcoming blog posts.
