Life Changing Days

Let me start with a story: one night, while on watch my watch team had the pleasure of seeing Melon Headed Whales swim around the boat for the better part of two hours. They kept setting off bioluminescence as they swam, outlining them as they flowed through the water. We were able to hear them talking, and we fell asleep below deck to the sound of real whale calls. Sea|mester has given me some of the most formative and incredible experiences of my life. The 90 days I spent aboard S/Y Argo sailing around the Caribbean in the spring of 2016 were some of the best of my life. I would not have given up the time I had for anything in the world. In addition, I learned a lot, both about myself and in the Oceanography, Ship Handling, Student Leadership and the Marine Biology classes. I would like to thank Sea|mester for the opportunity to meet some of my now closest friends and see places that I had never thought I would have a chance to see.
