This science party for Leg 2 is a little different from Leg 1 party as it is made up of scientists and engineers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and a graduate student from the University of Rhode Island. I\u2019ll be introducing you to the group as best I can throughout the trip. As usual, there will be a lot of interesting things going on!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-531022\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Bunk-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Bunk-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Bunk.png 385w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>To give you an idea of how life is on the ship, I\u2019ll give you a small tour of my room. Depending on the number of people on the cruise, you may have to share with one other person; there are bunkbeds in many rooms to accommodate larger science parties. The R\/V <em>Neil Armstrong<\/em> can accommodate a science party of up to 22 people. Each bunk level has its own curtain for privacy along with a light and outlet.\u00a0 Both are very convenient for when you\u2019re trying to read or watch a movie without disturbing your roommate.<\/p>\n<p>On some nights, the ship can really be rocking from side to side. Last night was my first night back on the ship and I could not fall asleep. My mattress kept shifting back and forth at every movement. But, I learned from my shipmates that the best way to deal with this is to shove a towel between the wall and the mattress. One person suggested to somehow wedge yourself to the bed which wouldn\u2019t have worked for me since I have small limbs and can\u2019t reach all corners of the bed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-531023 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Sink.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Sink.png 354w, https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/ooi-expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2021\/11\/Sink-249x300.png 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/>Each room has its own thermostat, so whether you\u2019re an ice chest like me or a heat box, you have the option to change the temperature of your room. You share your bathroom with one other room, it contains a toilet (called a &#8220;head&#8221; at sea) and a shower. There&#8217;s also a sink with a medicine cabinet in your room. Even though the medicine cabinet is closed shut, it\u2019s best to bungee it anyway to prevent rattling.<\/p>\n<p>The rooms have plenty of space for hanging clothes in an armoire or storing them in drawers underneath beds. There is also wooden shelf available. I found that there\u2019s more than enough room for two people to store their clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned, this next week will be chock-full of work and fun as the team deploys\/recovers mooring Profiler Moorings, CTD rosettes, and Net Casts, and listens to whales!<\/p>\n<p>Irene Duran<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a couple days of rest in my own bed, I returned to the R\/V Neil Armstrong for the final leg of the trip yesterday morning.
