We woke up to some very thick fog this morning. We thought it would burn off, but it is being persistent so our fog horn continues to sound one prolonged blast (4-6 seconds duration) at intervals not to exceed two minutes. Charlie Company is on maintenance, braving the chilly wind preparing the ship ready for our arrival in Rotterdam tomorrow morning.
Bravo is posting watch. Alpha has training today; they’re learning how to properly receive a pilot and will later be solidifying their knowledge of the engine room systems as they trace major components of the plant.
Delta is busy on utility making sure our living quarters aboard the ship are clean and neat as we prepare to dock in the Netherlands.
- 4/C Labun, Marshall, and Robinson take soundings of a tank during engine maintenance.
- 3rd A/E Will Silver, 2/C Butts, 2/C Kulikowski, 4/C Morgan, 4/C Pono, upgrade lighting fixtures from fluorescent to LED in the engine room.
- Capt. Asyali teaches Alpha company the correct way to receive a pilot. The view over the water captures how truly foggy the day has been.
- 4/C Ferre hauls line onto the main deck in preparation of our arrival in Rotterdam.
