Had a great night last night (Thursday) no watch 
When I got up I discovered that we were surrounded by cruise ships!
This huge ship is docked right beside us. It’ amazing that these things
actually sail.
They have WiFi on board but you have to give them a room number and
pin number of some sort… blah
I spent the day varnishing the mizzen topmast, the one they took down on
Tuesday. We also did a bunch of training on lines and procedures.
Late in the day we unloaded a huge pile of fresh food and stored it away in preparation for the trip.
Our watch is off for the next two days (Saturday and Sunday) so
hopefully I’ll be be able to get a chamce to wander around and see some of the city and get a connection somewhere.
We are officially supposed to sail on the 18th which is Tuesday. I’m
looking forward to that with a mixture of fear and excitement a you can
imagine.
