July 27th (88 days at sea)

I'd be remised if I didn't make a post about recent events.  After leaving Singapore, which was a blasty blast.  We had a Wog Day ceremony.  A Wog for the curious is a sailor that hasn't not crossed the equator.  After you cross the equator you become a "shellback" but first you have to go through trails, which back in ( Read more... )

 Wednesday (day two) was spent checking into the hotel.  A very nice one name of the Swissotel: Merchant Court.  300 Singapore dollars later the check in process was done.  After getting situated we went down to the bar for a drink before meeting up with shipmates for dinner.  Dinner was expensive and unimpressive.  I guess I had high expectations ( Read more... )
