Uncontrolled Chaos – At Sea – [10/08/2015]
Cabin inspections are a thing of life out here; your space is only partially your own. Every so often you get a nice little card under your door informing you that a group of stripes will be coming around to … Continue reading
Lickety-split – At Sea – [10/06/2015]
I continue to be all about the shock value…at least in some things. 50s/60s ‘prom’ night last night was not the most active one we have ever run, as a result we cut most of the competition events and left … Continue reading
Hitching a Ride into Club 33 – At Sea – [10-05-2015]
I keep my birthdays quiet on ships. I always have. I don’t like to see my name and ID photo splashed across the bulletin screens with the prompt to send me best wishes; I don’t tell the ‘Cats singer for … Continue reading
Dressed in your Pajamas…again – At Sea – [10/03/2015]
They tell us that in an actual emergency 60% of people will do nothing at all…they don’t freeze, they don’t panic, they simply don’t respond. Experience continues to tell me that this is a true statistic, though before tonight I … Continue reading

Island Girl – Kaui, Hawai’i – [09/28/2015]
They say Kaui is the most beautiful of all the Hawai’ian islands. I would be tempted to agree with that statement. They filed the Jurassic Park here, and you can see why – it looks like another world the deeper … Continue reading
Aloha – Honolulu, Hawaii – [09-28-2015]
After five days and six nights at sea, we finally drew into Honolulu harbor this morning. Granted, it was rather grey and overcast, and on and off the rain erupted all day, but…it feels so good to just be on … Continue reading
Back with a Vengeance – At Sea – [09/21/2015]
Amras and I had pretty much settled into the fact that if we wanted to play COD, we were just going to play with each other; it’s surprisingly difficult to find players onboard sometimes, and Predator has left ships so … Continue reading

Flying Start – At Sea – [09/21/2015]
You can lull yourself into forgetting what a crossing is like; until you’re back in one and the memory comes back with frightening force. Embark day for a crossing feels almost like embark day for a world cruise, only slightly … Continue reading
Stock-piling – Juneau, Alaska – [09/16/2015]
One thing about Crossings, they always take a hefty chunk out of your paycheque. Mentally surviving a crossing requires stuff…mostly in the way of snacks and such, because the ship does on occasion run out of things. As a result, … Continue reading

Swept Away – At Sea – [09/19/2015]
As of yesterday we have officially left Alaska behind us; and it saw us out with a gale. Ketchikan was drenched in side-ways falling chilling rain, with wind too strong to keep an umbrella open and puddles across the roads … Continue reading
