Musings of a Fatigued Mind July 16

Sitting at the nav station trying to stay in the seat. Its rolling pretty good out here. Shifty delivered in spades last night and today, Lumpy, the goddess of the sea, has also delivered. We didn't offer anything to Lumpy in the way of sacrifice the other day and she is having a great old time with delivering a really confused sea. Bigfoot is in the galley trying to cook dinner but half the battle is keeping all the ingredients and equipment from flying off the counter and the other half is trying to remember what his wife told him to do to prepare the meal. Thank goodness for the sat phone. The rest of the offwatch is down here drinking vodka. We have about 1 and a half days to go to finish and spirits (I know) are running high. I have to go now as I can't stay in the seat and type at the same time.

Oh sailor's life for me.

  2. Congratulations on your finish! I'm guessing you will all sleep well tonight.... that is unless the calm keeps you awake.
