Some people consider being on a ship all the time very boring.
Others like me love going to sea and being on a ship. As a crew member I try to learn as much from the scientists as possible. I love the work. I work on the Bridge, collect and report weather observations, make the written entries in the ship's official Deck Log, stand watch as a lookout, help the officers steer and navigate the ship, and operate the ship's winches and cranes. How I view the ship depends upon the day.
