Like, seriously. We spent the bulk of our time yesterday literally doing donuts in the waters near the Malaysian/Singapore border, followed by cruising down to Singapore at full speed during the night, and now we’re just sitting here next to the 800+ other ships that are always sitting around Singapore (mostly oil tankers waiting for their turn at the refineries, others are ships needing to be repaired, and then other misc vessels)
And we’re supposed to be in Ho Chi Minh City the day after tomorrow?
I’m guessing most of this has to do with avoiding the pirates in the area (full speed at night, bunkering during the day). I can’t wait to see the ship travel at full speed again – it’s pretty amazing see the water go by that quickly from my lower-deck porthole.
Nothing else to write at this point..my Malaysia/Singapore write-up will have to wait until I finish studying for 2 midterms that I’m taking tomorrow morning, write 3 papers, fix 2 people’s computers, figure out what I’m doing in Japan, finish working on the voyage website, and cleaning my cabin. Not to mention countless other things like cleaning my camera lenses and stuff. All in the next 24 hours.
P.S. I love SAS.
