TEAM SA LOGBOOK - 11th June 2009 - Leg 5 Trinidad to Bermuda

11th June - Preparing for Arrival in Bermuda - Marx
11th of June 2009

The day started of with a raw, we had very little wind so we were motoring.

Today was captains clean, the day the ship gets scrubbed from head to toe. I was on galley today and very tired, but the galley had to be cleaned. So we started mid day and it took us 4 hours. It was horrific we scrubbed, bleached and scrubbed some more. The galley was so dirty it was really something to get it clean, we found things that we wish we never did and saw things that will scar us for life, but after 4 hours is was spotless clean and the only things still alive inside the galley was the crew.

After that everyone went outside and had a tan, and before we knew it we were preparing the boat to dock in St. Georges. We docked at 9pm and got cleared by customs by 10pm and then we got shore leave for 2 hours. It was really fun and nice to be on land again, unfortunately everything was closed except one local pub, where we all just sat around for 2 hours before returning to the ship to get some rest for a early departure.

Some of us were so excited that we did not sleep that night.

Only 4 more days till we fly home!
