End of August '10

August 27^th 2010 - 8/27/10

Today was pretty much awesome. No I didn’t get a dive, but half our day was spent sitting around waiting for weather and rough seas to blow over. We set an anchor a day prior and just hung around for a 20 hrs, for things to clear up. I am slowly growing my sea-legs. Even though we have a fairly large boat 211ft. It can still roll pretty heavy, about 15-20 ft in either direction. I bet it will look like I’m completely drunk when I get back on shore and try walk on flat ground.

Anyway I had 6 hours to fart around at the beginning of my shift, I filled out two Job Safety Analysis forms a.k.a. JSA’s. Then I started reading Catcher and the Rye, a book I purchased just for the occasion. I can’t sit on the computer every waking moment of my day. Reading is an essential to sanity. Likewise, so is music. Movies are just a bonus. Luckily I brought all three.

Anyway getting back on topic, I read for maybe 2 hours, then I fell asleep in a lawn chair on the bow with a slight cool breeze. Wow and that brings up a whole different topic. A slight COOL breeze. Unheard of sense I got down here. The entire month of August has passed, by just slaving away. I can hardly believe it, I worked the whole month away, 12 hr shifts back to back.
