TEAM SA LOGBOOK - 18th May - Port Natal, Brazil

18th of May 2009 - 5th port day - Asekho Mdaka

I woke up at 7am in the morning in a hotel as we were having a watch trip the last night. We woke up and showered and went for breakfast. The funny thing is that in the hotel they said it is only 4 people in a room and we were eight. As we woke up, the first four went for breakfast while I and other three people were waiting for them to come back, they came in laughing and told us that they already signed for our room.

We went down for breakfast and as we arrived taking plates and started serving, one guy came to us and ask our room number then we told them and they said that there were four people who came for breakfast already. We stopped serving and Sarah was talking with the guy saying that we are eight people in our room. The guy looked shocked and said okay and we could have breakfast quickly as we were rushing for provisioning.

We waited for the provisioning that was supposed to be at 9:30 am, but ended up being 1pm. After that people went out to the beach but this time people started walking when they were going to the beach as it came as a surprise that we still have two days left, but not having enough money anymore.

By that time I was doing my laundry and watching a movie. It was also my galley day so I was supposed to serve people food but today the cook made things easy as he said we must just make one big table and sit with the Captain and the teachers. When the dinner was finished I went to do my night watch and went to bed.
