First Post by FreebeEr

Despite numerous attempts to keep my name constant, I have been renamed by
the crew of the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer. My name is now Eric Freeberg
with purportedly the best login ever. If you can follow along have have
not cheated by looking at the subject line, imagine this: your login is
made up of the first six letters of your last name and the first two
letters of your first name. Freebe er, or freebeer when spaces are
removed. Luckily for me, the ship is forbidden of alcohol. Supplying the
ship would have broken my bank account for sure.

We left today from Punta Arenas somewhere around 1PM. Because of the
excitement of my first Antarctic voyage, I somehow missed looking at my
watch. Go figure. As pushed off from the dock, no tug was necessary - our
ship can move horizontally if it wants to. Turning to the East, a
fantastic view of Punta Arenas showed (see attached).

The effects of promethazine are hitting me this afternoon though I took it
last night before bed. Time for a brief nap before our first security
meeting.

We're off and away on our adventure!

  1. Hey dude those drugs must really work! Bryanna pointed out that your last name is actually spelled freebUrg not freebErg you dope

    So your login should be freebuer which is a lovely german word for something I am sure.

    Oh and promethezine is taken when you need it you goof not as a preventative....
