DAY 228 THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8 GOOD WEATHER

A bright calm day. We walked around the deck straight after breakfast and saw the ladder for pilots.
This ship carries a lot more containers and the refrigerated ones need cables and power outlets.

We were not invited down to the engine room but we took this photo through an open hatch.
The large cylinder is the exhaust pipe that sends smoke up the chimney.
The mooring ropes have not been put away because this is a short hop between ports.  The crew lah them in lines as there is more room on this bigger ship.  On the previous ship they were stacked up in a spiral on a pallet to save space.  We are learning the ropes. The wind is behind us so there is very little headwind on the fo'c's'le.  We see one or two birds each day  and we saw some more blows which were probably whales today.
