Today, I experienced sea sickness. After a long rest I woke up around 10 AM with the motions of the vessel. The sea was now agitating and kept rocking the vessel side to side. It was difficult to take a shower and after a while it got me to the head. I had some lunch prepared by Tara and resumed to meet Stian, Alex, and Tori for another day of CTD. We found out that our logs were not properly marked and made the goal of the day to make sure we were more consistent and through in our data logging. Around 12 pm I could not stand the nausea and had to step out from the wet lab and sit by the deck to get some fresh air. It helped me recover but I was yet not cured. After half an hour I went back to my bed and laid down for two hours. I think I was exhausted and the effort I did on taking a shower in the morning definitely affected my balance today. Later in the afternoon, I grabbed some dinner and took another nap and resumed work .
CTDs are now easier to deploy, and data logging and bridge communication can get done quicker. Practice has definitely help in managing our team work more efficiently.
Today I met sea sickness and learned to overcome its first effects. Sitting still and taking naps were the best solutions and I am relieved for the conditions may get worse in the next coming days but for now I feel relaxed.
