Well, we've left Boston. We pulled out day before yesterday around 7:00 pm and plan to be in Montreal on Friday night. The plan is to have the weekend off in Montreal then head to Charlevoix, Michigan - hopefully reach Charlevoix by the 1st of July.
Last week was an incredibly busy week. We had guests on board for about 10 days which is insanely tiring!! My last entry was Tuesday a week ago, so I'll try to catch you up. That night, last Tuesday, I went out with the boys to watch the Boston Celtics play the Lakers at a pub. The Celtics lost so it was a bit disappointing. The next day was a long day, due to the fact that I was a bit hung over and I was on late.....and Mit Romney and entourage were coming to the boat for dinner!!!! I MET Mit Romney!!! The owners are convinced he's going to be the next President!! The owner told Mit he should be exceptionally nice to me since I'm the only crew member who can vote in the next Presidential election. Also, the owner kept telling me that I needed to vote 9 times to make up for the rest of the crew members. I told him I would try to register to vote in 9 different states!
The rest of the week was pretty normal for me. G and R left on Thursday and R son his wife and their three children came on Thursday - so no break there. We were left to entertain them.... Their last night on the boat I was on late and pretty much had to babysit their 6 year old daughter. It wasn't too bad - we watched Legally Blond and she fell asleep on the couch. Early that day the guests went to watch the Red Sox play, but had already bought tickets to do the duck tour (the car/boat vehicle that travels on land and water).....so who got to go on the duck tour?...you guessed it.....crew!! So, 5 of us did the tour around Boston - it was such a relief to get off the boat!!
Then we left on Monday night. I was running everyday in Boston, so that felt good. I bought a new pair of running shoes and managed to lose my iphone all in the same day - that sucks. I can't get a new phone until we're in Michigan, so basically in about 10 days or so. That's about it. The crossing has been quite boring as they usually are. I just do my 8 hours of watch duty a day (10:00-2:00), eat three meals a day, sleep, read, watch movies, 30 minutes of yoga, and an hour of working out.....lots of sleeping!!!! I'm giving up sweets. Today was the first day with nothing sweet - maybe that's why I have a headache.....I could really stand to lose about 5 pounds and i'm not going to do that by eating peanus m&ms and chocolate chip cookies!!!
Well, that's about it! I'll write back sooner. I really haven't been spending much time on the internet. I've been reading some really good books lately and am having trouble putting them down. It's awesome having a library on the boat - my own personal endless supply of books!!!
