Today, part of my job was being at the bridge helping navigate. They like a second set of eyes on the river and equipment while captain is navigating.

He’s a very nice man. He like the rest of the crew isn’t all that keen on how ACL runs things. We had a wonderful 2 hour chat.

My 19 yr old side kick Trevor and my 30 year old partner in crime Lexi and I had the Eff it attitude today. We were goofy silly kids. It really made the day go by faster. Trevor is leaving for vacation day after tomorrow, so I’ll never see him again. Lexi is very interested in other options from this sweatshop.

We had to go through a lock (miniature Panama Canal). Since this ship does the same loop week after week, they tell newbies that their initiation is to lick the lock as we rise up. This is Lexi showing me how it’s done.
