Location: Bali, Indonesia

On my day as Skipper, we had to prepare the boat for our trip to Christmas Island. Dan gave me the pre-cruise checklist and had me direct the preparation. This was really nerve-racking because I did not want to mess anything up. But I think we did a good job, and Dan was happy. Before we prepared the boat, however, some of us got to go on a provisioning trip. Our first one the day before had not gotten everything, so we went again to get the rest, eight carts worth, creating a grand total of 25 carts. At night, we had SLD or Student Leadership Development class, where we watched 300, a movie about true leadership qualities in people. Great movie.
