K. Rovenman 1964 Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Is. Great occasion today! We traded movies with the LST Harris County. We finally got rid of those old clunkers and have something to occupy our evenings again. Nov 5. George & I finally got to the laundromat in the morning. Wait with waiting for the machines to be checked, having our wash recycled by an attendant for no apparent reason, which necessitated our requesting our quarters back so the clothes might go through the "wash" cycle, and watching people dumping in the soap immediately, even after reading the instructions. I got a few chuckles and George got fed up in the hour and a half it took us. George and several of the crew are on edge because of The Delay. We were scheduled to leave yesterday morning but must wait until a new second mate arrives to replace Mr. Van Geisen, who suffered a back injury at some point. It appears now the earliest we can get out is tomorrow morning. Phil, George & I wrapped fish before & after lunch. Included were many captured in hooks, live from the ship and a few from Mr. Weyes traps along the pier.
