Hachman, C.D. 1965 Journal 4 January 13 Honolulu on a few trips with the XO. No one was on the ship so we turned around and drove back to town, to do some shopping. Spent the rest of the day comparing prices on things like hot plates, travel irons and fluorescent lights. Finally bought a television at the G.E.M. store. January 14 Honolulu Called up the ship to check and see if the XO would be on board. Then drove out and picked up the outboard motors and took them to the ship. We were both surprised to find that the Captain was on board and had been for several weeks because we had been told he was on leave on the west coast. He seemed kind of peeved that we had gone to the XO instead of him until we told him that we had been told he was away on leave. In our discussion we made arrangements about the delivery of gasoline, loading of gear, rubber rafts, etc. We found they want a work order to install the refrigerator in the afterhold. In Pearl Harbor work orders are required for every- things except taking a leak on company time and I expect they'll change that too. After spending the morning on the ship we drove back into town and did some more casual shopping before heading back to the hotel to finish out the day working on packing lists.
