Got underway at 6 thanks to B watch. Morning work party consisted of Grant helping Peter organize the forward tank room while Laura and I scraped primer off the deck in the great cabin. Zach later came in and started to pledge the tables and the combination of pledge and paint thinner started to smell like fruit loops.
We got on watch knowing that we might anchor that afternoon, turns out we were only on watch for about 15 minutes before we left fall. A watch got double work party, yay. We ended up painting the rest of the afternoon, green, yellow and black; everyone was over the side till about 1730 when it started to rain.
At one point I was trying to get back in the whaler to finishing the black, the steps were wet so I had to slide down while holding on to the chain plate, missed a little and fell into the water. Luckily most of me landed in the whaler so only my leg got wet.
We are anchored off Rocky Point, Long Island, it’s a little rough out there.
