I'm Sailing Away...
Howdy! Welcome to my travel journal for my first voyage aboard the JOIDES Resolution, the sailing vessel for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. For those of you who don't know me, or need a refresher: My name is Michael, and I work as a MicroComputer Coordinator with IODP at Texas A&M University. I was just recently tapped to sail on our drilling vessel as a Marine Computer Specialist; I will be responsible for maintaining all computer and networking equipment and software aboard the ship along with my counterpart MCS, Michael Hodge.
This is my first leg, so everything will be new to me - sailing aboard a drilling vessel, working in this capacity, handling a 7 day / 12 hour work rotation, etc. For the benefit of my family, friends, curious onlookers and my own posterity, I'm going to keep this Blog throughout the end of the year to catalogue my experiences, thoughts, and a few images from the journey. Let's all pray for a safe one ...

Good to see that your smartasstory nature did not preclude you from making timely comments! I'll post more as soon as the room stops spinning!
Sorry the room is spinning. I heard you are sea sick. I bet that makes reading and writing a real bitch.
