Things to remember about living on a boat...

Number 1:
If you ever get sick, there is always a way to evacuate you! For example, this Italian Coast Guard team came for a sick student. With engines on all sides of the ship, it could maneuver in any direction and was able to come up along side our ship, and within about 5 minutes, evacuate both the student, an accompanying staff member, and all of their luggage.


Number 2:
Never go swimming when the weather is bad! Note the fact that I was actually standing vertical when this shot was taken, it was the boat the was leaning sideways. Take a close look at the water level in the pool!

Number 3:

When you are an extremely fair skinned person who has not seen sunlight in anything but a tshirt and shorts for the past 5+ years, DO NOT fall asleep in the sun while studying... This happened on the 3rd day of the voyage, with this picture being taken about two days after that, and now at the beginning of week 3, I am STILL dealing with it's after effects!

Number 4 (and most importantly!):
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET! During drills at least! But don't worry... the fear on their faces is purely dramatic!
