Hello everyone!

So these past few days have consisted of a ridiculous amount of sleeping and spending time avoiding seasickness. Thankfully yesterday, the wind and waves calmed down quite a bit and I was able to be a social human once again and hang out with everyone! In an attempt to train our bodies to be on the night shift timeline, we stayed up all night playing games—Taboo and Monopoly Deal—and made our way to the bridge to stargaze, a few of us even saw shooting stars! All in all, it was a long night made short-ish by hanging out with people that I quickly consider friends, even though we’re only four days in. I’m sure these blogs all sound a little repetitive floating around weather, seasickness and the lack of science but lucky for you blog-readers, science has officially (by the time you’re reading this) begun! Anyways, here’s the first sunrise that I have been awake to see.

Also, hi to my parents, Amy and Rob. Love and miss you all!

Fair winds and calm seas, Bri
