Journal at Sea: Day 4

Day 4: Tuesday

After joining the Chief Mate’s watch, I had breakfast and then went to my cabin to catch up on a few z’s. The ship was now well underway to Vancouver, Washington and so again, I fell asleep to the slow rolling of the ship.

However, I eventually woke up as I rolled off my bed and smacked my forehead on the floor. Since I could not get back to sleep, I went up to the bridge to find that we had arrived off the pilot station at Astoria and the Pilot was now on board.

I joined the Second Officer and followed along as we navigated up the Colombia River. The Second Officer helped me understand how to plot our course on the chart. Captain Samyal was also on the bridge for the six-hour journey up the river to Vancouver, Washington.
