I leave for sea on Sunday and I am most certainly a little freaked out. I will be working 12 hours a day for 12 days as the CCGS Hudson hauls my ass to Terra Nova, a place about 200km southeast of Newfoundland where they are looking for oil or something. My job will be as a general lackey for the scientists doing coring and sampling and such- about the hierarchical equivalent of the cabin boy or deck swab (I wonder if they have those any more? Maybe we can hang out). I have a full stock of gravol for the journey and a newly downloaded season of Xena: Warrior Princess to watch (I am assuming that I will not have much motivation for thinking after 12 hours of work). It looks like I will have access to email so maybe I will be able to keep a log of my seafaring here- you, dear reader will be the first to know if I had to fight off sharks or save a drowning man from Davy Jones' locker. Yarrrh!
