It's been a fun few months, and I got a LOT done (including floating the boat!), but as close as I am to getting it all done, It's time to go back to work.

I have a new job on a new ship- At least new to me. It's actually an OLD ship, built in 1952. I'm trading in my 16 footer w/85 HP merc for a 700 footer with a 7,700 HP steam turbine!

This is my new 'ride'-

I haven't been on a bulk carrier for a LONG time- I've been working on tankers, so it should be interesting. Hopefully I'll remember what to do. It WILL be nice to not be dealing with an explosive cargo, though!

If you happen to be up on the great lakes, keep an eye out for us...
