Yes, in port, seamen are famous for living life large. And failure to throttle back from the stresses of working 12 hour days in a dangerous work place coupled with another 12 hours in difficult living conditions is unhealthy. So a Sunday at sea on the TSES is a gift from Heaven. When the ship is at anchor, even the watches can relax a little. We can take a boiler off line and free some in the Engine room and the Bridge watch doesn't have the worry of dealing with forward motion.
Most people sleep in, do their laundry, or sit around in the sun.
Others just have to be doing something. Last night we had the annual Las Vegas night. Well, not too much actually. We print it onboard with pictures of various ships' officers in the places where the dead Presidents belong. No one pays any attention to the fact that the money at stake has no value outside our own little world.
