Announcement on the ships public address system from the Hotel Manager: “All Hands report to the pier for stores.” Most of our 26 crew members set up a line and pass 6 pallets worth of food toward the refrigerator, dry stores and freezer. It takes a ½ hour to lift and pass hundreds of boxes. Wouldn’t want to make one person suffer through 13 hours to do the heavy lifting!
There is an insane flurry of activity, vacuum cleaners moving back and forth every 3 hours over the same spots in the lounge and dining room areas. Engineers, the boatswain or bo’sun, deck hands expedition guides swab the decks.
