Pretty decent weather the whole way back from the Bahamas. Even rounding Cape Hatteras wasn't as bad as it usually is. Now we're only about 3 hours from the sea buoy at the mouth of the Chesapeake where we pick up the harbor pilot and move into protected waters.
Only...
IT'S A FUCKING BLIZZARD WITH 50+ KNOT WINDS. I'D LOVE TO TELL YOU HOW BIG THE WAVES ARE BUT I CAN'T SEE THE OCEAN FROM THE DECK.
We are seriously getting the shit kicked out of us right now. The Chief Engineer said it best: "He who would sail the seas for pleasure would go to hell for a holiday."
I believe Maine is trying to reclaim you.
Right now I'm more worried about Davy Jones trying to claim me. And it's a legitimate concern at this point.
60 knot winds and waves are breaking over the wheelhouse.
Shit.
Are things holding together?
Dude, that blows.
Dude, don't die, okay?
Also, I'm sorry that silly girl on my fb called you a sexist. She's not very bright but she's usually very kindhearted and generous and that fact validates her existence on my list.

:lulz: No worries, I know you knew where I was coming from and that's all I care about. Anyway, I just turned it around on her and explained why she's actually the sexist.
Oh, and
I'M ALIVE!
I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!Seriously, that was some crazy shit though. Usually gotta watch Deadliest Catch to see shit like that. I had my survival suit laid out in my cabin for awhile. Even though free beer is part of the job, I'm buying the captain a fucking beer for bringing us through that shit.
Anybody who is religiously inclined, feel free to pray for any mariners stuck out there trying to round Cape Hatteras in this weather. It'd pretty much be a death sentence for small craft or anything under sail power.
Glad you made it through, sounds scary as all hell.
Wow, that sounds intense, glad you made it to land in one piece

GOOD JOB NOT DYING ECH!!!
Yeah, well done / congrats .. etc
Don't know how I'd have coped with losing Whitney and ECH in one weekend :eek:
Glad to see you're alive, ECH.
You wouldn't know it by looking at my cabin. I got a little tipsy last night and somehow managed to basically circumcise one of the fingers on my right hand in my sleep. Woke up this morning and my cabin looks like a horror movie. There is literally blood everywhere. I'm actually waiting until we go back out to sea to dump the sheets and pillowcases overboard because if I toss them in the dumpster here I'm pretty sure it will cause a homicide investigation.
You can't remember how you circumcised your finger?
Well, you know what they say, "ignorance is bris."
:crankey:
