A Tour: The Outside (22.57, -170.04)

After lunch I had time to kill until my shift started at 4 pm. I brought my camera outside to try and give you a feel for walking around the boat. The pictures won't do it justice. It is a real ruff and tough working boat filled with dangerous obstacles and boat exhaust. Plus, unlike most other dangerous environments where the public is allowed to go, this ship is not idiot proof. There are a dozen different opportunities for me the hurt myself or fall overboard every time I walk around. So leave the village idy at home cuz he wont make it long on this ship.

I have found that if you go up the the bow and hangout on one of the hulls (with the anchor chain which is the size of my thigh) the sea breeze keeps the stinky exhaust in the back and there are some good places to sit. That is where I have taken to hanging out and reading.

Back of the boat on the 01 deck looking forward on the port side.

Door on the left is the closest door to my room. Notice how well it blends in. They all do which makes it an adventure every time you want to go back inside.

Front of the boat looking back on the starboard side. Notice the large chain holding up the anchor. This is where I like to sit. You can see where the captain hangs out up on top.

On the port side hull looking at the starboard hull (remember that this is a two hull boat). You can see the large anchor hanging off of the front and you can kind of see the bottom of the hull in the water. It kind of looks like a torpedo.

This is just a cool light.

This is the half-set blue jello that is the sea we sail in. On the left is the bottom of the hull in the water.
