More boat pictures!

The pictures are less boring than the text posts, so here's some more for you! I tried to get some of the other cool things on the boat, aside from the snake pit (which is really probably the best part, but whatever).

My view, every day. Weather: Cloudy and 50 degrees, wind 15 mph. Every day.

One of the science techs (Mike) loading a sonobuoy into the SONOBUOY LAUNCHER. You don't even know what's in store.

I know right. Seriously - so good. I have video. Watch for it on YouTube.

The streamer rigging behind the boat. The disturbance you see a little way out is the airguns.

Some of the enormous streamer reels on the streamer deck.

The gun deck. Where they keep the guns.

The PSO tower, the highest place on the boat. They go up there all day, every day and watch for whales and stuff.

Well... I guess it's not ALWAYS completely cloudy...

Beautiful Alaskan sunset, at 11:00 p.m. This is the night before the longest day of the year.

The mess, where I spend 90% of my time and the reason I'm now twice the size as when I got on three weeks ago.

The movie room. We only deal in class here.

The lab, where I ACTUALLY spend 90% of my time. We counted the live monitors in that room, I think there's something like 60. And we seriously use all of them.

The back table, where the geophysicists isolate ourselves to process data.

The science team. This is the cruise facebook, on the Langseth intranet (so obviously, the best picture of everyone ever taken). I work with these people all day, every day. It's been pretty great, all told.

Some of the other science folks I've had the privilege of working with in the lab and getting to know over the past few weeks.
