Our Saturday consisted of another work day on the Hikianalia. Today we were able to refine our data collection process. It is still incredible to me that we get to work aboard the legendary vessel. We also did other work as well besides just working on experiments. We got to help pack the food for the voyage. This job was incredibly tedious but honestly it was kind of cool. I was touching the food that would be sailing miles and miles and they put their trust in a couple of high school students to make everything right. The process was very long however it made me appreciate what they are doing even more. Being able to see the behind the scenes of the voyage and all the preparation that goes into it makes me realize the passion that these people have for their job. They have the utmost respect for the things they do and all those that came before. Aunty Moani and her crew are some of the coolest people out there. I didn’t get to talk to them all that much but being able to work with her and pack food with them was a lot of fun. I can see the love they have for helping others and that inspires me. I can see their passion for this voyage and all it represents. Shout out to them for showing me some of the things that go on before a voyage and the hours of work they put in to make this thing happen. Keenan
