We have left the calm waters of the Puget Sound and are headed into the straights. The waves are picking up and I definitely can feel the change as I sit here in my rack rocking back and forth. I hope I have secured all my things well enough so that they don’t roll around and break.
Today was another good day of mess cooking. Lots of dishes to be sure! I enjoyed doing flight ops on the afternoon again today. It was a nice break from the galley. The helicopter was doing touch and go’s so we just watched and we’re there in case they needed us. I got some good pics and video of the helicopter this time. I am really excited that I have this opportunity to become qualified as I tie down crewman. It is certainly is something I would never have seen myself doing.
Well tomorrow sounds like it is going to be a busy day of cleaning every nook and cranny. So I think I shall read some in my Bible and hit the hay. Right now I am reading through the Gospel of Mark, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. God’s word has become even more precious to me in the time I have been out to sea so far. What a great comfort it is for me to know that Jesus is with me right by my side. Fears bombard me at times, sin overwhelms me, but Christ sustains me through it all. He is my precious friend, my Lord and Savior, and the lover of my soul.
