First day

It's my first full day here on Nassau, got to the ship last night and met the crew. When I arrived the captain was below with his girlfriend (also a member of the crew) and Jen was on deck to greet me. Her first words where "Hey, you must be Zach, welcome! You can just throw your stuff down anywhere for now. Do you want a beer?" Did I mention she already had one in her hands. I then met the Master Mate, Dan. After being introduced to the local hole in the wall, having another beer and meeting a few of the town drunks Dan and I headed back to the ship while the rest of the crew staggered on. Dan, good guy, we sat on deck over a few beers and he caught me up on everything. I'm going to like working with him, ashame he's leaving when we get back to Boston. Guess he decided he would rather be around his girlfriend in NY.

Well got up this morning, took a cold shower cuz the watter didn't get hot and I had no idea what switch to throw to make it that way! Everyone was still sleeping other then Margi (Cook) who was headed out to get provisions before the passengers arrived this afternoon. Then I wandered down the street till I found my own little piece of heaven in paradise.

Good hot coffee and cold air conditioning!!!

Paradise

Just then the skies parted, the winds calmed, and paradise was below us.

What a Flight

Ok, so I'm currently in the air on our way from Orlando to Nassau. Had to sit on the runway for over 1.5 hours due to thunderstorms but it was all worth it when we took off, the plane started bouncing up and down like the Tower of Terror and people started screaming!! I literally came up out of my seat, I loved it. Oh the joy I received at the terror of others. It's much smoother now and clearing up as we approach Nassau. Will be on the ground in 20min.

Phone Call

So I got a phone call from Andy (my Boss) on Saturday and he asked me if I could head down to Nassau early. I guess the current Bosun had to leave for family issues and they need me to head down early and take over. Now it's a rush to get everything done in a week, but I'm excited and can't wait!!
