Today was my last watch! Finally...at least for another 15 days. Tomorrow we move into the classroom rotation, we learn Rules of the Road and Navigation as well as other shipboard and maritime classes. We have morning session from 0800-1130 and then afternoon session from 1300-1530. I am excited to get back into a sleep schedule as well as a workout schedule. Early this morning, at 0300 in fact, we crossed the international date line. I am now 5 hours behind and 1 day ahead of Pacific Std Time. Tonight we go back another hour which means some more sleep. After watch today I was able to do some much needed laundry as well as kick back and watch a movie with some friends. The weather was really calm today, 4knots of wind and calm seas with overcast skies. We are moving into a low pressure system which is supposed to produce 30 knot winds and 11-15 foot seas, should be fun! After that storm however we are suppose to finally get some sun as we finish the final 1100 mile stretch to South Korea.
Till tomorrow!
