Less than 11 hours till we sail
Submitted by Cheryl L. Hammons on Tue, 06/23/2009 - 23:39
All the Rockers are on board and we had an incredible tour of the core lab today - words can't describe the detail and high tech equipment on this ship! The "mess" has served us great food and hopefully all the steep, tall stairways everywhere will offset that! We sail tomorrow at 7 AM - and we will all be out on the deck to enjoy the sights. The brain must sleep now - will report on the bunk beds tomorrow!

Wishing ou great sailing!
I originally sailed on the Glomar Challenger back in the 70s and was excited to see that the Resolution was once again to be in San Diego (my home)! I actually looked for the derrick while in Coronado last night but must have missed seeing it. I am so sorry that I was not able to officially and personally wish you all well! I now teach middle school science here in San Diego and at the SD Natural History Museum and remember fondly my days as the micropaleontology-tech/assistant curator. Plate tectonics is now on display at the museum and as you know in text books... Make sure your students know that science starts with observations and can often make the news long before a theory makes a text book.
It's that thrill of discovery and travel experience that really hook many a scientist! Have fun! (Top bunk with port hole is best!!)

Thanks for the news!
Hello Pat,
How interesting to hear from someone that knows about all this! One of our teachers on this trip also sailed on the GLOMAR - Leslie Sautter - do you know her? It is so much about the observation - and we are sure getting to do a lot. My berth is in the middle, so no porthole. But we go out on the deck as much as we can to see the beautiful sea! Thanks for writing.
Ms. Hammons, Be safe and
Ms. Hammons,
Be safe and enjoy!

Can't wait to meet you guys!
Hi Cheryl,
I am the Teacher at Sea for Expedition 323 to the Bering Sea starting in July. I can't wait to meet you SOR folks in Victoria in a few weeks. I spent the last few days in Washington, DC meeting with Julie Pollard (upcoming Teacher at Sea, 317) and Sharon Katz-Cooper at the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Learn all you can over these two weeks, because I'll have some probing questions for you guys. And think of what you want to know about me and my expedition. If you aren't already, follow me on Twitter (TheJR) and Facebook (JOIDES Resolution). I'll be updating those starting in July and hope for a chance to work with (or for) all of you to bring SCIENCE at sea into your classrooms.
I am giving all of you the same question: What do you hope to gain from this experience? We'll revisit that again when you are done, and see how close where you want to go is to where you end up. :) Have a great trip.
Doug LaVigne
