Underway

I left port this morning and we are already out in the Gulf of Mexico. It has been smooth so far. Everyone is getting to know each other and we are beginning to work as a team. Completion of our first station went well. I've gotten emails from several of you but haven't had a chance to reply back yet. It has been a busy day.

I'm thinking about how unreal life is out here. It's like being at the office only everything is done at sea. There is the surrounding beauty of the ocean but there isn't much time to really soak it in because of working out the details and staying busy with what we have to do. I'm sure that will get better as our operation here becomes smoother.

Hope that all of you are doing well.

  5. I always feel "right sized" when I'm on/in the ocean. It's not all about me....out there.
