Cool southern morning

When I opened up the hatch form the accommodations deck out onto the Muster Area for my watch shift at 5:47am the first thought that went through my mind was, "Holy eff it's cold!" With a nice stiff breeze, it was down to 54 (12 for anyone not in the US). That's about 10 degrees colder than any other morning so far. But apparently the rest of the week is supposed to be like this, with daytime temps not even breaking 80, which all in all is pretty sweet.

Kylie should be here tomorrow in the late morning, and we have set an optimistic goal of getting out of port by mid to late next week. Hopefully that happens, be good to get back out at sea.

Other than that, did some cable running under the office floor and down a deck... took about an hour of the day, hehe. Then I was able to get outside for a bit and snap a few pics, though it's getting pretty redundant.
