Went in the hot tub tonight around sunset and it was pretty much fantastic! So, the hot tub on the deck? Yeah the chief engineer is awesome and decided instead of pumping the hot sea water surrounding the on-board engines directly back into the ocean, he would re-route it and make a spa. He also lies and shoots potato guns, but that a whole other set of stories! We have moved on to cycle three, which should begin momentarily. Our incubation experiment, which we take samples from every other day look like they should have some really interesting results. I seem to be having trouble formulating cohesive and useful thoughts at the moment, but here: http://www.bigelow.org/index.php?cID=71 ... its the link to Bigelows' blurb on our cruise, far more eloquent at this point in time...
