Sea Day/Messina/Sea Day

October 11th-13th
Sea Day/Messina/Sea Day

There isn’t all that much to tell you about the sea day, most of which was spent trying to overcome my jetlag. So between sleep, so practicing, and the usual Navigator happenings, that’s about all there was to the 11th.
The 12th was spent in Messina. I had been to this Sicilian port a few times on the Queen Victoria, and though it wasn’t necessarily my favorite, it’s still nicer to get off the ship and spend some time in Sicily than sit in Illinois. I got off the ship mid day, after training, and actually went running for a little while. I’ve been fighting a cold since I got on the ship and now that it’s decided to invade my sinuses, I thought I could clear some of it up with a good seaside jog. Well, the run was nice, the snot was not, but I got some sun and had some time to remind myself why I take these contracts in the first place.
The 13th was another Sea Day as we sailed toward Greece. Again, nothing really to tell you about, but I got my computer hooked up and working, so I guess that’s exciting. And I’ll leave it at that…thanks!
