Olympic Preparation
Since dabbling with various ideas to put the Bering Sea in the limelight – such thoughts as putting paw prints on all the dining hall disposable napkins clearly too time consuming – we decided to help make posters instead. Such posters in gray and icicle blue Sharpies that we happened to bring with us read, “You have now entered a GROWL zone,” “Hypothermia Warning, Competition Beware,” “Beware of Bears,” and “We’re Ice Cold”
Heather and I will be judges for the Academic Bee and look forward to sporting GRAY and shades of blue with paw prints on our face. Go Polar Bears!!
The Opening Ceremony is tonight at eight and tomorrow, with no class, the Bering Sea is sure to win. Of course, we are your up to the minute report on who wins, who looses, and who gets voted off the ship. Just kidding!!
On a side note, Heather and I were interviewed for Sea TV, a student run broadcast show that shares international stories, weather, sports, and entertainment from the ship. Or segment will air today between four and eight and we hope to be able to record it on our digital camera so that everyone at home can have a chance to see us in our five minutes of fame.
On another side note, wow the sea is rough! I don’t know what the position report reads but if it says anything less that 8 or 9 feet I would be shocked. This is the most rocking we have had since the voyage began, as every item under the sink has toppled over – no point in picking them up yet – and my glass of water on the nightstand went sliding to the floor, its contents all over the bed and carpet. Everything else we have secured as best as possible on the countertops, everything so bare we must really be polar bears!! Okay, cheesy, I know. Wear gray tomorrow for us back home.
By the way, Chris says hi (the onboard photographer). And did everyone see the comments left by a woman from Mauritius on our pictures? That is really neat. More later and tomorrow on the events.
GROWL…

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a cash read site/blog. It pretty much covers cash read related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time, Scott :-)
It certainly seems as if there are those that have nothing better to do with their lives than to waste other peoples time by advertising on a site that is educational and has a special purpose. I will follow up on the continued uninvited sales comments. Maybe if they were paying for your education and expenses then it would be a little more appropriate. If these people made it through your block and continue then I will make the appropriate contacts and take legal action. I would suggest that you post a Blog stating you do not want any sales related or opportunity bloggers posting on this site. You must make the message clear and to the point. It would be one thing if these bloggers were really intesested in the SAS experience and educational benefits one is getting or wishing to know more about the places and people you have seen. Now back to the regular channel, The Polar Bears are really getting their act together and sounds so neat. Maybe you could make a poster for dad that says, WHY ARE YOUR LIPS BLUE? YOU ARE IN POLAR BEAR COUNTRY! Of course you need to make some blue lips and paw prints walking across them. Stomping out the other teams to cross the finish line first. I am glad you came up with "GROWL" it sounds like me! I love you, dad.
This is all very interesting and I hope it accomplishes what you want although I see three other sales comments already on this posting. I will definately email you this evening.I hope you have a great time tomorrow and win alot of your competitions. And if you don't win alot of you competions I hope you still have a great time. I love all of your ideas and will make sure to wear gray tomorrow too. Good Luck!!!!! Love you Mom
