I have to say the day goes by faster than expected and there is always something to do. I like the evening shift the best. Less activity and I\u2019m able to watch the moon set, the sun rise, shooting stars and the glorious morning star that is Venus. It was alarming at first because it looked like an oncoming ship. The team works really well together. Everyone is super helpful checking in with each other regularly to make sure we\u2019re ok or ask if we need something. The team is broken down into 3 groups. Watch 1, 2 and 3. I am part of watch 3 and we\u2019re dabbling with our team name. Steering With The Stars is what I came up with because that is what we do on our night watch. Then we have \u201cRyan\u2019s Angels\u201d or \u201cRyan and the Vikingettes\u201d. We\u2019ve also added the possibility of the \u201cPlastic Planeteers\u201d Thoughts? It\u2019s one guy and 3 girls on our team. Help us pick please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have adjusted to sleeping in a 5-person room in a 3-tier bunk and I am grateful I\u2019m on top. I have always loved the idea of a big family. Waking up to a breakfast full of activity and that\u2019s what I have. I have also relaxed into the fact that my hair and nails are going to be crap and that\u2019s just the way it\u2019s gonna be. I used to say \u201cit\u2019s hard to look cute in the cold\u201d; regarding traveling to cold climates. Well I found a way to top that. \u201cIt\u2019s harder to look cute, be cute, there is no cuteness while living on a boat and sailing for 21 days. Period! Except maybe when I\u2019m in my Helly Hansen gear I got for the trip. It\u2019s kinda badass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sleep in shifts around our watches. On your watch you are the Engineer, check bilges (the boat stuff under the floor), log, and fuel check. Then there is Mother, as in Mother Fu*ker. That\u2019s right you are loved for your care giving, nurturing way. \u201cCan I get you some tea?\u201d Would you \u201clike anything from downstairs?\u201d You might be preparing lunch or dinner, or cleaning the galley, everyone loves the Mother. A hot meal and warm baked bread goes a long way. And Crew. Crew, depending on what your shift is, could include a deck wash or cleaning the head (a glamour job like no other). All will steer, all will help with sails as needed, and most importantly, all will help with the trawls. The trawls are what we deploy in the water for catching the plastic fragments for our research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For such a big crew on a 72ft boat, it\u2019s amazing you can actually not be in each other\u2019s way at times. Meal times are the busiest. Sure you might have to wait to get in your box of stuff, or wait for the bathroom, but for the most part you can have a moment. Like I do right now by myself in the saloon writing this blog while everyone else is asleep or on deck. It\u2019s 10:10pm or 22:10 as we say onboard. Gonna catch some zzzz\u2019s and then go on the midnight watch.<br>__________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now it\u2019s 3 am and I\u2019ve just come off my watch. The moon kept us lit, the high speed manta trawl was out, despite us not moving at a very high speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I attempted my hand at steering while sailing at about 1.5 knots. A tough endeavor. I was supposed to stay in the 070-degree range, but I had a range from 040-120. Yikes! The jokes have already started that I leave a swirl of waves behind me. Kinda like a drunk driver drifting back &amp; forth and this is a dry boat. I am an excellent driver\u2026 for the most part.<br>I have not yet been mother. That happens tomorrow. They are going to be mad about my cooking skills. No really, they are going to be mad about my lack of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 6pm we do a group share. Yesterday was a card game called Nerdz . Today was Mr. Eco sharing his vision, and what a vision he has. A talented 22-year old looking to save the world one student\/school at a time. His catchy rhymes and positive message is a force. I\u2019ve had it stuck in my head all night. \u201cDon\u2019t be a Litta\u2026bug\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is hard work with a learning curve for me, it is a new grand experience. I\u2019m learning to sail, a fantastic team building endeavor. I\u2019m getting to know a group of fascinating people with a like-minded passion and I\u2019m living on the vast Atlantic Ocean with nothing to see in any direction except miles of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey, maybe I might even learn to cook. It\u2019s all about togetherness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Green With Tiffany signing off<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share our updates with your friends and families, and please consider helping the expedition funding by donating to our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/klean-kanteen-5-gyres-plastic-free-oceans-campaign\/x\/6602983\">Klean Kanten Indiegogo matching campaign<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written for Planet Experts (This is a guest blog by our Viking Gyre crew member Tiffany Paige who runs the blog\u00a0Green With Tiffany.\u00a0 For those of you following this blog closely, this was written on day three when we still had sun and warmth.)
