DAY 7: SHUFFLEBOARD!!!!
05.07.2008 As you have read in earlier entries in this diary, there are both “hurry up” and “wait” periods on a science research cruise.

Today we had beautiful weather, and a period of waiting for the corer to come back up. Sooo, one of the scientists looked up how to play shuffleboard on the internet, taped out the lines on the deck with duct tape, made a shuffleboard puck out of a tin of chewing tobacco, and got a broom for the stick. We proceeded to have our own very international, very fun, game of shuffleboard for an hour!
But, the corer came back up, and so....back to work for the scientists!
