Sizzling Steaks and Steaming South In The Southern Ocean

Wednesday-Saturday, 29 November-2 December 2023
Day 7-10 of 110ish

Turns out cuddles and knowing that my boy will be doing the trip with me was the elixir I needed for a good sleep! I’m like a new woman today. Watch out world!

A New Normal

Still on gentlemen’s hours, Tom and I were in the galley together and cooking up a storm! 

We were enjoying relaxing afternoons between meals with naps and movies. It was a lovely rhythm.

We’re Here Already!

And then the bomb dropped on 2 December. We have reached the first fishing ground. We are moving to shifts which means my hours changed drastically and now I’m in charge of breakfast…solo. 

Sh!t Just Got Real

Fortunately, the cook loves me and he did it tough and woke up with me to make sure it all went smoothly. He committed to doing that until I got the hang of the situation.

In my mind, I committed to making that the shortest time possible because it was hard on him having to wake in the middle of the night.
