Our last cruise had a scientist who was sick for most of it. She still managed to get work done, but I don't think she will be going on another expedition ever again. I threw up on the top deck during transit to our study site while we getting the safety drills. I certainly wasn't the only one, it was some rough seas.<BR/><BR/>I will buy you pitcher here at the Skellar anytime just to hear how you puked on a humpback.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-29160654915587227612007-09-05T12:32:00.000-04:002007-09-05T12:32:00.000-04:00AC, I guess it is another new and innovative use f...AC, I guess it is another new and innovative use for scopolamine.
