Out at Sea: Day 2

We entered open water sometime yesterday, and the ship is ROCKIN’! Things are starting to fall off tables, and passengers are starting to get sick. During meal times, there have only been about 5 people taking meals (me one of them!). I'm surprised that I haven't even gotten a bit sick. I've taken the opportunity of my good health to volunteer doing some science on the boat. Since we've entered open water, it is now International waters, so we are able to take samples of the ocean water. There are three things that we sample for: temperature, depth, and salinity, and we do this every 30 minutes. My shift that I volunteered for is from 8pm to midnight.

location: lat -58,37° long -63,43°
Temperature: 7°C
