**...an underwater volcano.**

Just doing the global warming, that humans won’t do.

Being out on a research ship 250 miles away from land means the science never stops. It’s a 24-7 buzz of prepping, deploying and recovering geologic sensors trying to understand complicated questions about what makes volcanos tick — specifically the undersea Axial Seamount, which is about 250 miles west of Cannon Beach.

Such research ships have, when properly run, every resource allocated and planned. There is a limited on-station time, limited stores (food & fuel) and the weather is seldom cooperative. The science is to get all possible data and get it back on shore to study where the waves are in the swimming pool!

sounds like a post from a gay cruise

Hmmm, my first thought as well.

You fall overboard and you are crab food once the octopuses finish with you along with the dolphins....

I prefer to do battle with crabs using a nut cracker and butter.

Mmmm...crabs. I used to be able to devastate three or four steamed Dungeness crabs in hand-to-claw combat. Haven’t had the chance since moving to Arizona.

Disney cruise?

Or - a dozen Chesapeake Bay Blues steamed and crusty with Old Bay Spice and smoked paprika. Washed down, of course with a dozen pony bottles of Rolling Rock. I used to crab off Broad Creek Point just south of the Bay Bridge near Easton. Using 6 traps I used to be able to get 3 bushels of 7 inch blues in about 2 hours.

My family used to get them in Dungeness Bay outside of Sequim.

Hmmmm.
