Tandem time

Today we set sail for the last transatlantic cruise ever for the QE2 and to make it a bit more special the QM2 will be traveling in tandem with us round trip. I got the chance to meet up with both printers from the QM2, Shiva and Berk who I went to school with.

As we take the next five days to sail across the Atlantic the ships will be next to each other the whole time while swapping sides each day just for fun. Once again I plan to wake up bright and early on the sixth day to watch us sail into NYC up the Hudson river and past the statue of liberty.

In other news the technician came aboard today to do a bit of a checkup on the printing press. There have been a few issues lately that have caused me some trouble. After a diagnosis he found there to be a major problem and will spend all of today fixing it so it will be ready to make it through the next month and a half. Hopefully no more problems will occur but you can never be to sure especially because of the abuse this press has gone through over the years.

Well time to head back to the ship and finish up with the technician.
