Holland C.D. 1965 March 20 Journal 115 Cruises to Pearl Harbor I took all morning to get my rough treatment as I didn't get a thing accomplished - not that there is a great deal to be done at this stage of the game. In the meantime Hamber + Woodward joined hands, Merrill puttered around packing navigation lights + Max puttered around with paper work. One fish prowning victim in up and around this morning. The fellow with the worst case is also greatly improved and is feeling pretty chipper this morning. Since the seas are running fairly smooth we have been making excellent time - around 14 knots good. We are already about two hours ahead of schedule. Arrival is set at 1100 on the 27th. More ship problems: one man fell and is believed to have slipped a disk and is now in traction. Another man dropped a bunch of metal trays on his foot and Edwin (illegible) to have broken his toe. The ship's corpsman is about ready to go out of his mind. March 21 Cruises to Pearl Harbor The ATF doldrums have now set in. I have absolutely no ambition and even less inspiration at the present time. All of the trips seem to end this way. As soon as you leave the last island and head for home you begin to relax and then the tired feeling settles in. Beautifully calm sea all day which has permitted me to maintain speed in excess of 13 knots so that we'll arrive at Pearl Harbor and be tied up by 1300 tomorrow.
