It's Official. US East Coast, you kicked my ass.

20 days. 3 ports. 16 days in port.

Whew.

The good news? I'm back at sea....It's About Freakin' Time!

I came up to the bridge at 0545 - I grabbed a cup of coffee - relieved the watch - and watched the sun rise. If that's not an AMEN of sorts I really don't know what is.

The icing on the cake? Busting out Big Bertha for some cloud photos. Yesss....

I turned the deck gang to at 0800 and then I snuck off to read my book and no, NO I DON'T FEEL GUILTY!
