Hi again. We have spring break next week, so we won't be able to check in for a week. Questions:

1. How many people will be on the boat?

2. Where's the new journal article? Sealed Are you waiting until you do something cool? You are still in Fairbanks right? You leave the 11th. Good luck.

3. Is Frodo going with you? We see pictures, just curious.

Thanks! We'll check back on the 17th after spring break.

1. There will be close to 80 people on the Healy. There will be 35-40 scientists and 35-40 Coast Guard personnel on board. I will know the exact numbers when we depart from Dutch Harbor, Alaska next week. 
2. I am still in Fairbanks going through all of our training classes. I have a couple of journals that I still need to post. I didn't know if you saw my 2nd journal entry!
 
3. As much as I want Frodo to go on the ship with me, I think I have to leave him behind...If we needed a polar bear dog, he would be the first one on board! But, I had to include a picture of him for you! It wouldn't seem right not to include him!
