Christmas Cruise

Today was the first Christmas Cruise and my first day doing real work. I got to Mercer Island around two-thirty and got ready to go to the boat. Our role was to make sure boats kept a distance from the cruise ship and to make a pathway for them once the concert was done at each location.

We first went over to Seattle and hung out there for a little bit waiting for the boat to get ready. I was working with Jeff and Dave. They were both very nice guys. Jeff went over a ton of stuff with me. I had some time to play around with my boat skills.

We made our way to Renton for the first concert. They are about twenty minutes long. People on the ships got to see the singers. Hundreds of people lined up on shore and listened in over the ships speakers. It was very loud. Following Renton we went on to Newcastle. I was driving for the second one after I saw what we were supposed to do.

I also ended up docking the boat in the darkness. I did a lot better than I thought I would. I was a little nervous but Jeff said I did a good job out there today and he was going to E-mail Keith and let him know I did well.
