headed for port, hopefully our last core...

good morning, Sunshine!

we just collected our last core. as i showed up to my watch, we were
preparing for another core, but captain phil told us the seas are too
rough and may get rougher. so, he did not feel it was safe to core in
these conditions. so,,, we are heading north. chris romsos and i have
our waypoints set up for the entire way back to port. if the weather
clears further north, Goldie wants to try to take another core. we are
all so tired. i hope the weather is rough the entire way to port. lol

sleep was interupted by the safety video. could not get to sleep after
that, so i think i got about 4 hours or so. but,,,, it is not like i
have a choice in the matter... good health is for landlubbers i guess
:-(

ok, back to the grind... can't wait to get off this ship. of course,
in a couple weeks, i will look back and wish i was back on it. weird...

peace out, j

Yes, that is always the way: stress out planning for the event, busy, busy during, over before you know it. Never enough time or sleep.
My stress dreams always are: I am arriving just as the event is over, and everyone is leaving.
Rain stopped to an off and on drizzle all day. Storm expected to hit after midnight in LA. I cleared out the leaves and debris from the only drain out of the backyard, so it shouldn't back up. One time the water was about 18inches deep on the side of the house.... so I keep an eye on it. I still buy extra flood insurance from FEMA every year. If I don't need it, maybe it will help those who do.
Hope your trip into port is smooth!
I shared yesterday's blog, the part about rigging, with Bob, state tech teacher. He was happy to hear an update about you.
Love, Mom
