Phew. What a day. I have the day off but I forgot my wallet in my bunk and then the boat left before I could get back to get it. Ridiculous. The cook gave me a lift into town and loaned my $20 but getting onto the internet was a feat. I walked the 45min in the blazing heat to get here to find out that they require a photo ID to use the ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TABBY!

It's a day early, but I probably won't have internets tomorrow so better now than in a month! Hope you have a good one.

My biggest news at the moment is that I got a job for the fall season! I'll be the second mate on the Clearwater. I'm a little nervous about it. The crew sounds pretty good.

It always surprises me how attached you can get to a person in a week. I've only been here a week and I'm gonna miss the guys who are leaving ( Read more... )

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Mine was pretty lame. How was yours? The Clearwater crew hosted our monthly potluck last night and promised much in the way of shenanigans. But I guess we failed to deliver. Only about 6 people showed up... one of them was a 2 and a half year old, another was a captain of the boat (the other captain didn't show). But we ( Read more... )
