Work hard, play hard, they say. Toiling up and down the Brazilian coast collecting and filtering water samples involves a lot of late nights, early mornings and long afternoons – and sometimes a lot of sitting or standing in one place for long periods.
But the antidote is here! Yesterday afternoon in a quiet period, there was an impromptu line dance organised and led by redoubtable ‘trainee deck hand’ Christine Hammacher (aka the Captain’s wife).
It was, by all accounts, a lot of fun – and thankfully the sea was quiet, which meant no-one fell in (although from the evidence, it seems that some of the participants were a little directionally challenged at times).
Thanks to Christine for her organising skills and excellent training!
