So concludes my final day on the R/V Kilo Moana. Today was pretty low key, just had my 8 am to noon shift, hopped on the stationary bike one last time, cleaned my room and packed, and then had a fabulous BBQ on the back deck of the ship! Complete with three different kinds of sausage, steak, ribs (they were awesome), cole slaw, mac salad, baked beans, rolls, and brownies! With wonderful weather, and a great sunset, and some reggae jams playing, who could ask for more?
Although a lot of this trip has been disappointing, I will be sad to leave the ship tomorrow. I have met a lot of wonderful people with who have rich and interesting stories. It also makes me sad to know that I may never get a chance like this again. I do love being at sea.
Tomorrow we port into Guam, where we will probably take and $80 cab ride (ridiculously expensive, but its an island so they can jack up the price) to our hotel in Tuman Bay. There is a beautiful beach there calling my name, as well as a few brews at the bar ;) I don't know if I will feel adventurous or just be content laying on the beach (probably the latter), but I hope to meet up with some of the crew and the techs for a drink or two!
