We pulled out of Seward on Tuesday and began round turns in Resurrection Bay because the winds were supposed to pick up and it could have gotten ugly at the docks. It's typically easier to deal with winds underway than at the dock. After we departed, the winds calmed down and were never really a problem, but it was too late at that point and too much work to try and pull back in. A full docking process can take 2 hours start to finish by the time we fire up, warm up get the crew on deck and lines pulled. So, we did round turns in the bay until this morning (Thursday) when the captain decided to make a run for Prince William Sound.
Prince William is about 50 miles to the east, so he figured we'd take advantage of a shift to north westerly winds and pop over there, putting us slightly closer to home and more room to jog (do round turns). Everything else this week is supposed to be blowing out of the east and right in our face at about 35-50kts and seas 18-20', so we may be held up here for a few days until it calms down.uckily, we pulled out of resurrection at the end of my watch and we up inside Prince William when I came back on, so I got to sleep through the bumpy ride. I sleep like a baby when the boat's rocking hard.
So, we bounced our way over and our now doing round turns somewhere in Prince William, south of Whittier in Knights Island Passage.
Dinner tonight was a linguini with breaded scallops and shrimp, mixed with fresh sautéed veggies, cilantro, tomatoes and Parmesan. Turned out pretty good for not having a recipe. Tomorrow eve, I'm doing my famous blackened pan-fried steaks. They are only famous because each time I've made them, I get good feedback. So, they are famous to me..
