Day 6 - Life on the Bridge

18/10/2014

One of my favourite places to visit on the ship is the Bridge. Happily this ship is crewed by a very friendly set of watch keepers who are more than happy to have me visit and take photos and wander around asking about every instrument they have visible. What is the point of being a scientist if you don't ask questions all the time?

The downside to visiting the bridge is passing this particularly unfriendly red sign. Which I find to be off-putting in pretty much every circumstance, although I have been granted authorised entry. If you count authorised entry as "Of course you're welcome, would you like tea?".

The view is pretty awesome, when the weather is good.

And there's always someone doing something in an incredibly relaxed manner. At some point in my life I was given the advice "don't worry till you see the crew worrying, then you can worry", so if you're concerned about high seas, bad weather or beeping red lights it's the place to go for reassurance. It's also the place where everything comes together. The science (where the ship can actually scan), the navigation, the organisation, it happens out of this room.
