Science at Night

I knew in advance that we would be assisting the 5 scientists on board, but I was not prepared for the amount of work that had to be done at night.  The old adage of "time is money" held true on this journey because we did not have the luxury to wait until daylight to complete the many experiments and tasks that had been planned for this voyage.  Our first night we spent attaching fish tags to a mooring that was dropped off the fantail at about 2:00 am.  I sneaked in a few hours of sleep but my bleary eyes were still in awe of all the activity and science that happened the first night and each night after.
