FREE TIME What can you say about free time on a ship. How about cherished time . Time to write home. Maybe play a game of cards, get in a workout, or just sit back and watch a movie. After being around the same 326 peo- ple for six months in a row, sometimes you just find a solitary corner and curl up with a book. Whatever you choose to do for this precious hour or two is not important. Everyone finds their own way to unwind after another ten or twelve hour day of working and watchstanding. After the fastest hour or two of the day flies by, it is time to get five or six hours sleep, wake up and start the next day refreshed and ready to go. Bottom- Plenty of food for everyone!
