Basically, TSGB is used for hands-on training of students at the California Maritime Academy. Each year, CalPoly-SLO sends along about 35 of its students and 3 faculty members for a learning-at-sea experience. Randy will be teaching Oceanography, Astronomy, and Energy and the Environment. For 2 months. Six days a week. Their training route will take them south along the west coast of Central and South America and back home. As I become more blog-knowedgable, I'll post the link where you can read the captain's log every day. This is the ship.
It's a long hike across a pier, up a gangway, and then up 3 flights of stairs to haul all of the stuff a professor needs to live and teach 3 classes for 2 months on a ship.
But at last he's finished with the onerous chore.
I'm going to miss him something fierce. However, being in a marriage means doing what you can to help your partner achieve his or her goals. Randy's wanted to do this for years. He's going to have a great time. And I'm happy to help him.
