Boat Signage

Not much to report these last couple of days. We've been drilling for awhile. The drill got stuck a few times and we had to pull out and flush out the hole with seawater but it looks like they reached their target depth this morning so we're pushing on. :)

In the meantime, I took the opportunity to post some charismatic pictures around the boat. Here are some signs you'll find walking around.




Instructions for the highly fashionable immersion suits. Thank goodness we didn't have to don them like they usually make us do doing the safety orientations.







Come with us if you want to live!
Signs directing us to the lifeboats where we are supposed to arrive in our immersion suits in case of an emergency








We separate all of our trash. The burnables get burned, the food products get dumped and the plastics & misc are stored until we get back to land.









Stickers of Expeditions past.











The entry to the Chemistry/Microbiology Lab. We have such a realist but hopeful sense of humor.








Also known as the Fo'c'stle deck or F-deck.
...BTW, I can hear your giggle from here! :)








Our toilets work via vacuum (like airplane toilets) and although they got a much needed "improvement", they are still pretty finicky.









This is the entrance to the "hotel" (where all the sleeping quarters are.)Because this rig operates 24/7, there is always someone sleeping.











Muster lists - tells who is supposed to report to which lifeboat in case of an emergency and which personnel have special responsibilities.















The photographer's door. Notice the "Geologists Rock" sign above the door and the collection of magnets. There is also magnet poetry on either side of the door which morphs pretty regularly.






Here are a few examples of the magnet poetry. Other examples aren't so innocent. :)
