Yesterday was a rare, good day. After a lot of worrying about getting more work for my ship, we got a job. It involves a nice, long steam across the pond, stops in Brazil and Trinidad and then finally, working in Columbia-somewhere I've yet to work. The excitement spread throughout the crew and everyone seemed in a good mood. Charts and maps were pulled out and poured over. Stories were traded. Everyone began to speculate on crew-x and whatnot. Not a bad day at all. I even began looking up flights from Cartegena and Bogota...
Today, reality sets in and the work begins. The one thing that stands out is that by several accounts, including some famous guy who sailed around the world, is that we are going to work the roughest waters in the world. It seems we had a ship nearly capsize there a few years ago. I thought Argentina and South of New Zealand were the worst:(
