this is my fond farewell to the crew of the R/V Roger Revelle. they have been a
most excellent companion to my first adventure on the high seas (although the
seas were relatively calm). the cooks on board (jay and pete) were key in my
comfortibility. i only ate less than 1/2 my personal food stores. i also feel
really healthy (sans my previous gastrointestinal issues that i will not mention
again...). jon the computer tech was very helpful (i spent much of my time in
the computer lab planning our course and coring sites). i will miss him for
sure. captain tom a`was a joy to work with. he was easy going and very helpful.
the cheif mate rob, second mate, mellissa, and third mate heather (roger that)
were all the best. the cheif engineer, dave, was very helpful as we had many
techinical failures during the cruise. all the other guys, jack, rick, jd,
manny, eddie, edwin, matt, scott, steve, jim, jim, john, and i hope i did not
miss anyone are great!
the indonesian crew was particularly helpful. this morning when i was beginning
to take apart a table, udrekh jumpoed right in and said, "jay, is there anything
we can do to help?"
i am ready to go to the dock, after our group picture .
we have already cleaned up all the labs (excpet the computer lab desks where our
computers are still hooke dup for lasdt minute file transfers). my room mate
bart hass already cleaned our room and taken the alundry out and cleaned the
abthroom. he is awesome.
sea you all on the flipside of the globe soon. i have many pictuers to share, i
will post them on my web site. i also have a couple videos. i plan on making a
presentation at HSU geology next fall, as well as at hfog?
luv you all, jay
