Japan Tomorrow!

Hello Hello,

Well we arrive in Kobe, Japan at 0800 tomorrow morning! I am on line handling on the stern, and have to be up and ready at 0700. We pick up the pilot and make our way into the bay at 0645 so I plan to be on deck then. Everyone is excited for another port, I kinda wish it was a little longer off cause port stays go to quick and I don't want it to be over. Today started daywork and the morning was spent hauling up mooring lines from the forward line locker and the after line locker. THOSE LINES ARE HEAVY!! I definatley got a good workout in. In the afternoon I volunteered myself for a little carpentry project, and while doing the project realized that stage crew was to blame for learning all this stuff :) Tonight we worked on sea bags some more and I finally got one side of the bag done! Tomorrow my diviison has watch but I lucked out and don't have it so I have the day off (cept for I have to stay on the ship) I might work on the sea bag and then catch up on sleep before the long days of liberty. It was warm and very windy during the day and made our emergency drill kinda hectic. Can't wait to see Japan...Love You all and talk to you tomorrow!
