The people of NOAA Ship Fairweather were so willing to teach me about hydrography and ship life...I learned so much about being a hydrographer thanks to all the surveyors! What a wonderful group of people... the deck crew, the engineers, the stewards, the NOAA Corps officers, and the great leadership of the XO and CO. I was able to learn from all of them. Everyone always made me feel like they had time to teach me how to do things, and to answer questions. It is exciting to be in a place with so many talented educators!
