Day 2 - Food! Glorious Food!

Because I am a salty old sea dog at heart I do not suffer much from seasickness. But unfortunately about a third of our team do…

Somewhat counter-intuitively, having a full stomach seems to help (that and there’s enough medication onboard to stock a pharmacy.) In light of this, today we explore the culinary delights of the RV Investigator.

The food on the voyage is amazing. No wonder people tend to put on weight, there is so much deliciousness here to enjoy!

Tomorrow we start our first dredge. Until then, we enjoy a selfie on the bridge.
