Well mates, thanks for tuning in. Today is my third day on-board the Langseth and what a busy three days its been. When I fist got on-board the science party was not scheduled to arrive till the next day. So I quickly offered my services to the crew and techs and was put to work immediately. Unfortunately we are stuck in Bermuda with a rudder malfunction and although the science party is on-board they have nothing to do till we shove off. So I have been spending my days working on deck, splicing rope, cutting chain, testing winches, and preparing for deck operations while at sea. I will put up some pictures some time tonight or tomorrow. So stay tuned for more exciting insights to live on a research vessel
