Kathleen Hardy from the Darling Marine Center will be blogging from sea aboard the R/V Thompson. The month long cruise will take place in the North Pacific and Kathleen provides an excellent mix of the at sea experience and science tales. The post titles are imaginative and should peak your interests enough to head over. You can even track the cruise progress here.
