So much water around us...

...yet none in the ship. Yeah, so, we ran out of water. The other ship left port for a campaign against illegal whaling in Iceland, and in the days leading up to their departure, much water was consumed. Wednesday night, I got back late from a live music show, and tried to clean up some dishes in the galley around 2am. There has been minimal, and then zero, drinking water since. We're re-filling it, but it takes a LOOOOONG time, and then time to re-pressurize the tanks.

So my life in the galley has been challenging, to say the least. Not only is it damn difficult to cook for six to twelve people without water, it's surprising how quickly you can use every clean dish and utensil, even in a large galley. Last night was leftover surprise night, basically just about anything I could heat up in the microwave without needing more pots and pans. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with what I was able to put out.

Well, enough complaining for now. Really, things are challenging, but not bad: after a lovely hot shower at the Y, and free wireless, and clean clothes, I have to get back to the ship. More soon!
