NIGHT RENDEZVOUS

I'd be quick on this entry…

December 01, 2014 1am in the morning ships engine stopped to give way for the incoming 5 crew members in Gibraltar area, Was already prepared at that time and was expecting that we will pick them up in the middle of the night, besides I couldn’t sleep very well so I just simply waited for the queue.

Bosun Payopay knocked to my door and said its time and I should wake up O.S. tan while I'm at it. After getting on my coveralls , I went to the Crew mess room to wait for the announcement. BOSUN Payopay told me to wake up pump man sepulveda , Fitter Chaigan and Wiper Evangelista. Didn’t get the instructions clearly and added to wake up A.B. Marlon Layos to the list, Good thing I didn't proceed to wake up everybody or else I'm going to be in more trouble.

When Marlon woke up , I told him that I made a mistake in waking him up and told him to go back to his cabin. Good thing Marlon was in a good mood and said its ok, (if this was another A.B. with a bad temper, I'd definitely be hearing some nasty stuff from their dirty mouths). Wiper said on the phone that I should only notify him again if the service boat is already there , So basically means a NO but that's not my problem anymore - as long as I gave him a notification.

1:20 am Service boat arrived carrying the expected 5 crew members, no luggage's were brought in from the crew. Found out from one of them that there luggage's was lost on the airport. I escorted them on the ships office and escorted back the ships chandler back to the service boat.

1:30 am everything was cleared and all equipment used was secured. Went back to my cabin to pass time and wrote this entry.
