We are doing a replenishment at
sea (RAS). This is where we come alongside another ship and they pass us stuff
secured on palates as well as people. They are not on palates, they are coming
over by helo. We all get into a massive congo line as we pass ice cream, chunks
of frozen meat, cases upon cases of tuna, parts for repairs and of course, mail.
The fuel transfer is more tricky and we've added a little extra something to
keep it fun. They are transferring not only fuel for the ship and for the
helos, but in our case, water as well.
And the name of the oiler, you
might ask? None other than the Amelia Earhart.
That may not be a good idea.
Are we even going to find
her????
(I know this joke is not original,
but it's new and funny to me!)
