Requiem for a blog

There was a blog
About a sailor that set out to sea
In a big big ship
Making money
For Mr.Moller and company.

Before leaving he started a blog
To tell others his experiences along the way
As he sailed far and wide
Across the ocean currents and tides.

But lo and behold in the distance
Loomed an ISM audit
And the sailor got really busy
So the blog slowly died.

But there is hope in his heart
That after the audit is passed
There'll be time again to pen a few words
And exhume the blog from the dirt.

6th August. 1825 SMT. SMT: GMT-9

Bound for Pusan once more. This time we're going via the Unimak Pass in the Aleutian Isalnds. Then we'll be doing a great circle course to North of Attu Island and finally another great circle to Tsugaru Kaikyo. Glad to be back at sea. It's nice being in port but also very hectic and no work gets done because of the busy scheds. At sea u can plan and have some sort of a routine. Plus we're retarding clocks by 1 hr every night so no one is complaining (except me, as usual, I hate retarding). We'll be reaching Pusan a day ahead of sched so we'll probably be at anchor for a day. Longbeach is a really beautiful city. Clicked some snaps there. Will try and post them when I get the chance to go to a cyber cafe. Until yesterday I was going through my 'I hate everyone on this ship and wanna get down' phase. Now everything is peachy keen once more.
Oh btw people, any requests for exotic booze (read whiskey) at the shaadi, pls let me know in advance. Will try and pick it up from one of the duty frees here. Vodka drinkers will not be entertained. Period. Oh and if ur thinking Blue Label, dream on. Laphroaig is the upper limit.
Absolutely! Okie dokie. Going back to work. Trying to finish all the courses for the entire China-Korea trip cause once we hit the far east there won't be time. Ok zats all folks. U go figure which whiskey u'd like, I'll go figure out some more course lines. Not a fair deal, but such is life.
