with heavy equipment and nets over the side on the Arctic Ocean is
serious business. There's always the risk that someone could get hurt
so we're very careful and watch out for each other at all times. Rule
#1: Always wear a life jacket.
Ok-addition to this story, another researcher just came in and they had
their boat hit by a whale today! Wow. Everyone, including the whale is
fine!
