276

It's been a busy week and I'm a little late on this one. As tradition has it for the past two years, I have ended my time at sea with a sunset photo. It's one of the moments about a career at sea that will never grow old. With this sunset comes 276 days at sea as a cadet and the completion of my sea time to earn my license as a professional mariner. Next step? Graduation and a job!

Final Trip to Valdez

We are headed into Valdez for the last time with our escort tug, the Crowley Alert, and outbound sister ship, the Polar Discovery in the background. 

On the Hook

We are sitting at anchor in Port Angeles, WA with another beautiful sunset reflecting off the bow. 

Alaskan Legend

I was on the launch boat headed from shore back to the ship at anchor when I saw this beautiful sunset and the tanker Alaskan Legend in the background. 

Sunset in Valdez

Here I am looking over the stern and the stack on a beautiful Alaska sunset as we load 900,000 barrels of crude oil in Valdez.
