Call me Erik (Ishmael is also fine…)

This journey to Alaska will be the farthest north I have ever been, I have some idea of what will happen, it has been years since I have experienced the dancing sun but this will be a great time.  In fact I have not seen much cold weather in a long time so it is a refresher. I am an intern aboard the USCGC Healy http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/cgcHealy/ working with a CTD measurer. Anyway, on with the list of packings

 

  • Warm socks, Under stuffs, shirts, intuitive garments sutable for ship work
  • Jackets x3
  • Jeans x 4
  • gloves (cold weather and workout gloves (seirously, one of the best things ever created, the ATV of quadraped movement…. like hand shoes(are those a thing?)))
  • Tom and Findus
  • books, NOOK, Laptop, external hard drive filled with media to last a month at sea, sketch book
  • toiletries
  • dossier 
  • backpack

Looks like everything is almost in order, I hope to be posting pictures of polar bears and other cool critters as I cross them in Alaska (hopefully not being eatten by them).  

 

More to come!
