  • First rule of Lab Top Club: Bring a book that you’re not going to read. No one actually reads in Lab Top Club.

  • Second rule of Lab Top Club: Be prepared to be squished like sardines. Only one person will be comfortable on the lab top. Maybe three people. Max. Be prepared to touch feet.

  • Third rule of Lap Top Club: Bring tea….not the drinking kind ;))

  • Fourth rule of Lab Top Club: Bring an instrument, even if you don’t know how to play. You’ll learn in Lab Top Club.

  • Fifth rule of Lab Top Club: If you’re on the low side, hold on tight. If you fall from lab top, you’re not welcome back. You might be in the ocean.

  • Sixth rule of Lab Top Club: Take silly pictures of your friends (see above).

  • Seventh rule of Lab Top Club: Take the short cut.

  • Eighth rule of Lab Top Club: If you think we meant Laptop Club, you can’t come to Lab Top Club.

  • Ninth rule of Lab Top Club: Lab Top Club is not a joke.

  • Tenth rule of Lab Top Club: Don’t forget to tell the mate you’re back on deck.

Love,

Kenzie (2nd Marine Tech and Berry), Talia (Deckhand and Rock), and Syd (Program Assistant and closer to 30) (Lab Top Club Founders)

Also shout out Zeke (student). He sat next to us while we founded Lab Top Club. And Kai (also student). She slept next to us while we founded Lab Top Club.
