I'm Not On A Boat

        So here is just a little update about my adventures at sea......i'm not actually at sea anymore. It all started when I woke up Wednesday morning and I realized we were sailing in the opposite direction of our original trajectory towards the coast of Texas. I soon found out that the crew discovered our ship had an oil leak, and we were ordered to head back to Pascagoula to the dry dock. We were almost to our first station when we had to turn around. Therefore, it took us another two days to get back to land...so it was technically like a cruise! I didn't have to work....I slept, read, watched movies, and repeat. This unexpected change of plans was actually a blessing, and I was able to get back to see Samantha and the Greenleaf family. We are supposed to depart again on Friday for the 2nd Leg where I hope we won't have another oil leak!
