A handful of people have been asking me to do this for ages (almost 2 years, to be precise), and now I’m finally doing it – writing about my voyage to the Antarctic Ocean and back in 2009 (see earlier post).
I actually maintained a journal during the trip itself, which was supposed to be a ‘daily’ log so that I could capture as much detail as possible. But, as it turned out, I only managed to write once every four days or so – digressing from the original plan out of laziness, exhaustion, lack of encouragement, shortage of subjects or excess of things to do. Anyway, after being at sea for sixty odd days, I had written around 20 journal entries. They were written what I now call “green” lingo. Here I edit and refine them into 9 blog entries, that I hope are engaging and worth at least one read.
I had no choice but to include some general information about the Oceans & oceanography, but I have withheld real names of people, our exact course and specific scientific details, out of respect for my fellow passengers (and our work). What I put down here is, after all, dedicated to them.
