We actually have TV here in a lounge, but I haven't really been able to watch much. We are now finishing up the last 45 min of a steam to the next sampling station, to arrive a little after 6am. In between steams, a couple of us watched Nims Island (at 4 in the morning). Jodi Foster is awesome.
The evening temps have been really nice, but evening to me is 6pm. I go to bed 6:30 or 7:00. As we've come south, it has gotten warm and muggy. I knew when we were passing MD and DC - recognized the miserable climate. It's been overcast in the mornings and most of the afternoons. This morning was the first time I actually saw a star - and the full moon across the ocean. I could see the horizon in the light of the moon.
Sometimes on the back deck, water splooshes thru the holes that are at water level. You can just lift your feet tli it runs back off the ship. When you take the nets out of the water, you get a little wet, but one wears the bibs so any time you get wet- oh, like having water run down your arm into your clothes- it is mostly your own doing. After we get the nets on board we have to spray the plankton into the bottom of the net, then open the net to release the critters into a sieve. The samples are then put into quart jars and formalin is added to preserve the specimens. I will post some photos after this station. Prada got nothin' on me!
