Science at sea
Minor nuisances:
1) Sleep disturbances
-continuous ping of the sonar
-grinding of the crane while deploying the underwater instrument packages
2) Discovering your station isn’t tied down as well as you thought. Flying water bottles can maim.
3) Showers that drain v. v. v. slowly
4) Norwalk virus – not just for Princess Cruise Lines anymore!*
5) The wheeled chair leashed to the lab workbench. Its bungee cord has plenty of give, so it can roll 6 feet in any direction.
6) Minor surgery. Fortunately I only had to replace a bulb…* This blog infrequently produced solely, entirely, TOTALLY for entertainment and occasional lampooning.

It's not a cruise if nothing breaks, right? At least it was just the bulb.
You've got a wheeled chair? Maybe it's a good thing you're on a dry ship. I hope you had your ladder safety training...
No! No ladder safety training, just a safety lecture where they showed us how to put on a thermal suit if the ship was sinking.
Found a more stable, wheel-less chair. The wheeled chair is now at the other end of the lab, where it is a threat to some other research lab.
