First dry weekend in a long time

This is the only way to keep me away from the bars...send me out to sea and keep me there for long periods of time. It'll be that way for a couple more days and I'll be in some foreign country using my High School Spanish skills to get me by. The good thing about being away is all the work that is being done. I'm not stressing as much as I am because everyone has to be onboard and has to get their shit done. I've been cruising by with some somewhat fast internet blazing but can't access the sweet sites that I usually visit. I got three weeks left until I get back to SD. Week one is almost complete and I must say it went by fast. I didn't realize it was Saturday already. On the ship today is hat day. I got this $7 baby blue fishing/old man hat that I'm rocking. It's classy because I bought it at a Seal Beach Liquor store complete with a porn section in the back corner. So shady. I'm growing out my moustache and my hair looks like all sorts of crazy. I kind of let myself go when I'm out to sea and no one really is around to see me. I'll think about taking a pic of my not so hot self. So far the food is tolerable and the bridge watches are good. True story...its the middle of the night and I'm on watch. My old ship wasn't too far from me and I knew they were going to be coming close. I'm trying to anticipate their next move and BAM I get put in an odd situation. The ship turns north towards me (I'm heading west) and I'm forced to come south because there is a restricted area in front of me. We end up driving right at each other and I hail the other ship via radio and come to find out my buddy Ryan. Words were exchanged and we went on our way. Yeah that wasn't that exciting but anything is exciting late on a Friday night in the middle of the ocean.
