Hump day celebrations

Hump day is the middle of a voyage - Camel with speech bubble

The middle of a United States voyage is traditionally celebrated as hump day. It was no exception for expedition #375, and funny camels appeared everywhere around JOIDES Resolution. Two months is a long time to be working with no weekends off, in an enclosed space, so every cause to celebrate is welcomed!
