So I am on here for 3 voyages, each voyage lasting about 32 days, stopping in Hono, Guam, 3 ports in China- including Shanghai- and then back to the mainland to I believe Oakland and LA- but I might be wrong about Oakland. Not much more info, but a little more.
We were supposed to be underway by 0400, but while I was being introduced to the bridge by one of the daymen (he's a "Book," or an A class sailor) the Old Man announced over the PA that the Mate wouldn't be setting the sailing board in the morning (a rules thing)- and it looks like we'll be underway by 1630 tomorrow, instead.

| My new quarters- for reference, look back a few days for comparison... |

| The other side of my quarters- note the x-box above the closet. |

| My private head. |

Different than my other two ships, this room faces fore and aft- Behold
my view! Keep in mind- once those containers are piled up- what it will
look like come morning.... |
So far this seems like an incredibly chill bunch... according to all, the Bosun is chill, the Mate is chill, and the Old Man actually has his cat with him- a bright-eyed thing named Scratchy. Laura wasn't impressed- she forbid me to bring Nightmare, no matter. Two of the Hawaiians who were in the hall when I threw down for the job were here doing standby work, so we hung out a bit at coffee and lunch. One of the guys was trying to convince the other to throw down for a stint- once he gets his "situation handled-" what sounded like a little tiny bit of assault. As "Pony" explained, "He's a good man, him, but trouble found him one time..."
