Weekly Reflection

 While week two came to an end I was able to accomplish more than I wanted to. With my goal of learning more about business and being able to accomplish my goal, I couldn’t have been happier. While the week was filled with paperwork and business class there were a few highlights of the week. A boat launch that took place to launch it into the ocean was a pretty eventful day. When the boat was launched and about a mile offshore one of the transmitters started to die out. Luckily there's a backup transmitter that was able to send back the location. But when the boat first started having problems the office started to go crazy my brother and another guy on the team tried to tackle the problem quickly in hopes to be able to get the boat home. While the boat did make it back Friday morning with no damage to the boat we were lead to believe that somehow water must have gotten into one of the waterproof boxes before they were sealed shut. As all of these problems were going on I was able to fully complete my IUU fishing paper Friday morning before I help with the load up of the boat after it had come back. While I didn’t want to leave because who would want to leave San Diego the weather and the ocean is way too nice I was able to take back some new skills with me. I found myself to be more self-disciplined when I was working and found that my teamwork skills have also gotten better.

 With time winding down on my time here and my paper coming to an end final touches are starting to take place. The boat that was sent out yesterday was retrieved and escorted back to the boat landing. While the boat was being loaded up another major company within autonomous boats was at the boat launch testing out one of their newer boats. To end the day off a small party was being put into place for my short time here in San Deigo. While there are a few more days left most of the guys in the shop won't be around.

Day 4 05/12/2022

 Most of the day was filled with a business meeting involving a pretty large company within the autonomous boat market. We had to launch a boat pretty early in the morning to be able to show the capabilities of their product. When all of the meetings were over it turned into every other day. Working on the IUU fishing paper. Along with getting some other things done around the shop like moving boats around to make room for new concept models.

 While I didn't really work Saturdays I was able to work on my IUU paper a little bit. But for the most part, only worked on the week's days trying to work forty-hour weeks on Monday to Friday to allow me to have both Saturday and Sunday off. While I did work a little bit on Saturday I didn't work for very long. This allowed me to decompress and relax after going all gas and no brakes throughout the week.
