I was smokin' hot in the simulator today

Today's focus was meeting and overtaking other vessels in narrow channels.  We also spent a fair amount of time working on docking our vessel without the assistance of tugs. I kept my speed up, I utilized my transverse thrust, I rocked the rudder lift - oh yeah - I'm a straight up bad ass.

The simulator is a 360 degree view....it is projected onto a circular screen that surrounds a raised bridge.  It's pretty cool.  I promised some photos....

Blogging station

This is a test.....I'm blogging from my iPhone! Expect more mistakes! This morning I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs and found a prompt to share a photo of your 'cup of comfort'. You really have to love shutter sisters! I got out my phone and took a photo of my mug - then I ran it through a filter on instagram. I just hope I can figure out how to publish it! I firmly believe in a cup being a comfort.....I went mug shopping here in Florida to make sure I had a big cozy mug for my 'studio'. This is my 'blogging station'. It could also be called the place where I heap everything up on the dining room table!
