Seatime math

Today is day 16 of this trip (out of 33 planned), which is also my previous 'longest-time-at-sea'.

However, that last trip was on Coyote, a 42 ft. sailboat, whereas this trip is on a 274 ft. top of the line research ship.
Looking at the ratios of days out to length of ship (days/LOA), this trip is equivalent to ~2.5 days on a 42 ft. boat. Put another way, I would have to stay at sea for 104 days on this ship to match my previous sea time (by this meaningless metric).

As you may notice I've got some time on my hands to think about these things.

 
 My commute.


Calmest day of the trip today.
