It was absolutely freezing this morning, after awhile you’d think it would have warmed up, but no. Watch was good, felt like it was never going to end though, especially when you’re frozen on forward look out.
Work party was again more tensioning of shrouds; Jesse and I were on the fore crosstrees. It had started to sprinkle before we went aloft so we all put on our foulies and then trudged up. I also kept having the come alongs stab me in the head.
The view from aloft was the most amazing thing ever as we were headed towards the East River that flows along Manhattan. After we were stood down from work party at 4 I grabbed my camera and headed aloft again to take pictures. C watch had a lot of company on their watch because most of us stayed on deck and had our dinner up there as well. We motored passed the Statue of Liberty, under Brooklyn Bridge and saw a lot of the famous buildings of New York. At the end of it all we anchored, go anchor watch.
