Once again back to the ROVs! So with construction now complete all that's left to do is test and for that we need a large body of water...well we could just test over the side of the ship, right? Wrong, because while that would be fun it poses more safety risks then anything else. So, on to the next best thing...A POOL!

Okay, Okay. I know that I'm severely behind in my ROV blogs but better late then never right? So, here it is...ROV catch up (sorry, bare with me..this is kind of a long one...).

So anyone who read my last blog knows that I've been collecting some cool stuff to take back to school with me in September (the only question now is how to get my 50 pound box home) and that I'm really excited by all my cool stuff.

Awesome Experience

Gotta love a scientific drilling ship. What better place in the world is there to learn about something new first hand, ask questions and find and create awesome things to take home?

So most of you have probably realized by now that I'm a little behind in posting my ROV blogs but not to worry, since today was actually day four. Soooo, since I've no idea how long I'll still be caught up...here we go!

As interesting as day one was day two was much more fun. Umbilicals and Drimmels

For one of our group activities here on the ship we have the opportunity to construct ROV’s (Remotely Operated Vehicles) led by CORK Specialist’s Geoff Wheat and Samuel Hulme. Even with no idea what an ROV is, it sounds like it could be fun, right?

Tuesday, July 20 at 10:00 a.m. the outreach team in its entirety will get to be the first group to practice boarding the Port side life boats. Score for us! We'll don our fun orange life vests, hard hats and climb aboard to strap ourselves in and take pictures while one of the crew goes over the safety guidlines and procedures.
