Today was more painting. I had to paint the railings around the top deck of the boat today. I used some sort of epoxy paint that is very difficult to work with. It is sticky and doesn't spread well at all. The deck is obviously out in the hot sun so that made the work even more fun.
I did get a short break while a crane was brought in to lift the lift rafts onto the boat. Apparantly the are removed and inspected each year. They are 25 man rafts that are extremely heavy hence the crane.
New carpeting was installed in parts of the boat today and work continues on installing it in the guest cabins and common areas.
After dinner I went to my room as usual to shower and change clothes. Another surprise. My bed, the top bunk, was soaked. The clothes on the bed were soaked along with the bedding. I was pissed to say the least. I went to the captain and reported the problem. An engineer came down to look but we couldn't find any leak. It turned out the someone was changing the faucet in the room above and didn't shut the water off properly.
I did go to the store tonight along with the cook. I bought a lot of junk food I didn't really need along with a few supplies such as gloves, hat, flashlight and a few other things.
I needed a new place to stay but the boat in such a mess I couldn't really find a room. I got dry bedding and deciced to sleep on the deck again. This time I used one of the mattresses tempoarily stored there. I didn't sleep well however and I had watch again at 3:30. It the middle of the night as I write this entry.
