Hi Glenn! We 've just caught up on all your recent journals and the questions are flowing! Here are a few from my 5th grade students: Kristi: Up to now, what's been the most favorite thing you've seen or done? What other science have you worked on so far? and, What are the sleeping arrangements like?

JT: What's the difference between a mile and a nautical mile? Have you gotten seasick and/or what are you doing to keep from getting sick?

Leo: Has the cold weather bothered you yet? Is the ship on US time? What time zone? And how are you doing getting used to such a late work shift?

Scott; Did you take any kind of good luck charm with you? Mrs. Lollie told us she had taken 2 special charms with her.(in 2007)

Mason: What all is monitored on the computer screens you have a picture of?

Bryan: What do people on the ship do for entertainment?

Trystan: How long, wide and high is the NBP ship?

We'll be working on getting a track of the ship on the marine traffic website and look forward to hearing more about your adventures :) Stay warm and keep those great journals coming ! Lollie

> earths surface. 60 minutes are in a degree 360 degrees around the
> earth. make sense?
> Scott: There is no bad weather only bad clothing. We have the best .
> Avoid the wind!
