See a work of art is inspirational enough, but watching the process is explosive. Stop-motion Xmas gift making.
With temperatures below freezing, it’s sure nice to not have any cargo to work for te next few days. We are waiting in Charleston, SC atleast until the 16 to load if not later.
00-08 port watches make for the perfect time to finish up any chart work, voyage planning or log entries when nobody is awake except you. Can’t wait to get into town.
We made the return from Brasil safely, even though the last 6 days consisted of 20-30kts of head wind, 18ft seas and LOTS of reduced speed days. it’ll be a few weeks in the CONUS loading up for the next trip to Saudi Arabia, garbage compared to South America. It’s 31 days at sea to get there, that’s a long time on a 400ft ship.
Upon landing at the Rio airport I spotted this amazing clock, old-school ticker style like it hasn’t been changed since the 60′s and judging by the tile it may not have.
