187 days at sea.....complete. what a feeling of finishing and having z great
feeling of leaving combined with coming back to Vegas for The world series of
poker. Didn't even bother to stop by home first. In order for me to return to
the union to get the next level of my apprenticeship program, I needed 180 days
of sea time. Lucky enough the USNS Bobo allowed me to do it. And to top off the
day, my company y Mearsk provides me a free night at a tropical resort so I can
catch my 6am flight out tomorrow.
So just next door I enjoyed a bit of water slide action at wave jungle.
Not intending on staying long, why bother spending any money. Just walk in and
a old staff looking for wristbands.
The dark slide tunnels were so
exuberant, I can't remember the last time I uncontrollably yelled out so loud.
It was great. Next to happy hour at fiesta bar on the beach sponsored by
Stolichnaya and joining the navy dudes from my ship. Not bad on
beach at happy hour and you can see the USNS Bobo in the back as well as
the calm before the small rain. Lovely
Back to the Kanoa hotel for a buffet. Got a $41 max per diem and not planning
on wasting that.
Now who would go into an empty hotel bar, not even order alcohol, soda water,
and then sing 4 karoke songs. Oh....me. the bar tendered looked lonely, so I
thought I would talk to her. Of course I couldn't help seeing the karaoke books
and it helped that I was all stolylied vodka up. I even sang a couple songs I
never heard cause she, Bik, liked them.
Back to fiesta bar. Meeting some of the crew mates there and continuing to enjoy
the stoli specials including $2 shots. The rest of the night blurred and ended up
in a bar that changed colors and Mark breakdancing.
In bed by 1:30. Getting picked
up by 4am.
