It all started with great excitement and enthusiasm. Arriving to Dutch Harbor and meeting the crew was amazing. I exchanged words with young scientists, the marine tech and the captain. Being at sea has its challenges due to the inestabilty of the vessel and the particular metereological conditions of the day. You don’t know what to expect. However, over time you learn from previous experiences and master working at sea. The food was terrific and always on time. One could relax from time to time as the conditions were calm. I feel I gained much control over myself during those hours aboard a Research Vessel and was able to connect with the crew as the day went by. Now this internship is over and I am about to head home soon but I will remember those days I spent during the transit and the beautiful images of the Pacific Ocean.
