Enjoy your leave. Loved the brief shots of your cabin with the ship rolling sharply. Brings back memories of trying to sleep wedged into the corner of my bunk while the ship did it's best to deposit me on the deck!
Best wishes for your birthday !🎊 💥 😁I’m glad the timing worked out with your relief. Time to rest for the rest of the flight home .keep us in the loop , you always do ! Terrafirma here we come ! Maybe a short 🏍 ride to get the salty air out of your system.
Another awesome video, thanks! You make ordinary into extraordinary. Glad to see your departure was from Singapore…best Chicken & Rice ever across that Nation. Spent decades in and out of Singapore for Military Sealift Command…”United we Sail”. Safe transit home shipmate. Hug those trees, gently! Carry on!
Another great video Madeline. Happy Birthday and happy trails to you. Maybe we'll bump into each other on the mountain trails of Washington State. Enjoy time with your family.
Happy Happy Birthday, Get home and get your motorcycle out and clear your mind . Take care and stay safe. P.S. How long does it take a seafarer lose their sea legs when getting back on dry land.?
Happy Birthday (belated) mine was 46 years ago, too many shots woke-up in the front yard covered in snow 1/16. Have you ever concerted traveling thru New Zealand? I lived there and did not travel,regrettable. Ralph
I am the same way about cities Madeline. I find the peace and tranquility of the forest very therapeutic. The noise and din of the city is indeed depressing. I don't mind going into Boston or Chicago for business. But I get the fuck out as soon as I can and back to the woods of New Hampshire. Have a nice trip home and I wish you well. Cheers
Do you have the opportunity to choose not to fly home immediately, but spend a week or so touring Singapore before flying home? Seems like a shame not to begin your leave touring a foreign country.
Yes, per our contract you can get cash in lieu of a flight. But honestly the last thing I want to do when I get off 4 months of standing watch is bustle right into international travel. The first thing I want to do is spend 2 weeks straight with my family
As to being alone and being in a city, if you choose to, you can be alone and peaceful while living in a city. And I don't mean the stereotypical cruel anonymity one hears about. I mean by choice. I've lived in middle sized cities most of my life but enjoy being alone a lot and achieve that rather well. But that isn't the same as being lonely. Being alone and being lonely are definitively not the same thing. I'me certainly not lonely but enjoy being alone. Yes, out in the country it's different, but you can often (not always) still achieve much (not all) of what you want no matter where you.

How long a vacation do you plan ? What adventures do you have planned? I'd be so seasick with that rolling.....
I'll either go back to worn right before the end of the year or right after. So a good 4-5 months off 😁
Ha ha.. Got the 1st. one... lol, I have a Garmin watch too, and really just to monitor my sleep.. got 7 hrs 15 mins. and REM 2h.23m

Yaaass 👏 Thank you!
Happy Birthday!! Thanks for the insight. Are all the details (how to get home) figured out for you or do you have to do that yourself?
It's all set up for you, including the ride to the airport.
@@m.leinewolczko Thanks.
Get a drink at Marina Sands. There's a Spago's on the 57th floor. Mean Old Fashioned

Good call, love that perspective 🙌🙏
Just out of curiosity, does the company pay to fly you back home? I hear that mariners aren’t treated well (or paid well) by the various companies.
They pay for business class and they pay our base wage on travel days. It helps to have a union working for you 😊
