Day 3: Monday
Today, we are still discharging and behind schedule, so they plan to work through the night to finish as we need to get underway towards Vancouver, Washington. My job today was to help paint one of the holds. I was later on gangway watch for the balance of my shift.
Discharge completed in the evening and so the pilots were ordered and we set sail in the evening for Vancouver. It was still light enough for me to take a few pictures of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge on our way out. I stayed on the bridge all night and joined both the 3rd officer and then the 2nd officer for their watches and then finished with the Chief Mate’s watch.
