after almost a week and a half of waiting, Thursday saw a happy end when we got an email telling us that we finally got the sailing permit for the Sword. it's been two years since i've been onboard. when i saw the crew manifest, i suddenly missed the guys who have been there for me during those long, ten dizzy days i was there before: ravi, shane, chan, peter, nigel, arnel and roland. i would have wanted to go on this trip too, knowing that it would be them onboard but i just could not do it. with the delays we have been experiencing, i was afraid that if i'd go onboard, i'd miss my flight to bangkok in two weeks. yet i am not so worried that there are going to be any problems since i know the guys and i know that they'd do good for us. add to that is our new QC person whom we know will do her best to give us the best data. the good weather right now does not hurt, either. i'm hoping for good going all the way to the end of this project.
i may not be too happy that i'm not onboard with the crew and learning new things, but i'm learning new things, too, while monitoring the work from here.
*notice that the Sword has a new paint job. when i was onboard two years ago, she was still orange.
