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.
