Location: Gulf of Mexico, South of Pensacola,
FL en route to St. James, LA;
Events: I spent the 1st watch
trying to assist the lead tankerman modify or replace a chain on one of the line
wenches. It was a trail of frustration as he didn’t have a strong working
knowledge on how chains are assembled. Eventually we called the job and
re-tasked to applying primer to the areas of the deck where we had sealed after
chipping up the sulfur. Early in the 2nd watch I was tasked by the
mate to detail the upper head used by the captain, mate, and chief,
specifically to remove some stains from the lower wall sections. The chief
tasked me to keep an ear out for any engine room alarms while he went to assist
the lead tankerman with the wench chain on the barge.
Things learned about vessel/barge: How to work on a wench chain
Classroom information application(s): NAVGEN Lights and Dayshapes
Supplemental Information: It seems my eyes are finally clear
of the sulfur dust and damage which is a relief as I no longer have to stop
randomly and cringe from my eyes felling like they were on fire and raw. We
should be entering the lower part of the delta tomorrow morning sometime.
