I am back on the deck force once again. This morning was not the happiest for us deckies, seeing as how half of deck force did not show up to muster on time. So we were punished and sent down to the engine room to clean out the bilges and paint. I did not think it was that bad, and enjoyed a change of pace from mess cooking.
This afternoon we set special sea detail and pulled out of Victoria. I was on line two and helped fake out the lines. I also took down the Union Jack and put of the Speed pennant when the whistle was blown. I have next watch tonight (8pm-12am), and will be heading to that in about an hour. I am kind of nervous about it all but eager to get started and get qualified in helm & lookout watch.
Right now we are headed to Vancouver, Canada to conduct Olympic security. I am glad that we are back underway, and we will be underway for the next thirty days…whew! It can seem overwhelming, but I am determined to take it one day at a time in the Lord’s strength and not in my own. He will sustain me and give me the strength to get through and honor Him. He is my helper and the lifter of my head.
