This Is Going To Be An Awesome Summer.

Hello all. Did I mention I got the job? THE job? As in my dream job? I didn't? Whoops.

I am now officially a deckhand on the tall ship Silva.

Here's a rundown of my first day:

I got stuck in a too large survival suit which made me look like a cross between a teletubby and the Michelin Tire Man.

The other new deckhand and I had to raise the anchor by hand. Twice.

I had to contort myself into weird shapes in order to get primer into each nook and cranny. I got said primer in my hair and on my hands.

Capt. D told my to use cooking oil to get it off, but I'm pretty sure he was just screwing with me because it didn't do much except make me greasy.

And today I felt like I was run over repeatedly by a steam-roller with anger management issues.

Conclusion: I LOVE MY JOB!!!! :)

Here's the Silva:
