As I sat on the beach on
the weekend watching my two beautiful boys play together on the sand
before having a little splash in the sea, I found myself watching the
large ships on the sea's horizon and thinking what I would be like to
stuck working on one of those ships for weeks upon weeks.
Having always felt an
affinity to the wonderous and expansive ocean, always feeling content
and at 'home' when spending time at the seaside, I love watching
documentaries and reality television shows about the sea. When
watching the ship's crew on loved shows such as 'The Deadliest Catch'
stuck at sea working for weeks on end I often think how hard it must
be to be away from loved ones.
As someone who loves
keeping in touch with loved ones and relies on the high tech world we
live in using my laptop and smartphone on a daily basis to keep in
contact with friends and family miles away, I often wonder how would
I manage if I was part of a ship's crew.
Thanks to the clever
people at GNS Worldwide I no longer have to wonder how easy or hard
it would be to stay in touch with loved ones if I was part of a
ship's crew. In a fascinating infographic they show how communication
is for sailors, comparing and looking at the communication of those
who spend their Life At Sea to Life In Space.
If you want to know who
can communicate easier sailors or astronauts then take a look at the
infographic below -
Looks like if I want to
stay in touch wwith loved ones I should ditch dreams of heading on
the high tides and choose a space mission instead – thankfully
space with all its wonders is pretty awesome too! Now what do I need
to do to become an astronaut?
