Comes with years of practice Bo :hatoff:
Well damn. Was going to cook the steak the sous vide method and my vaccum sealer (which I have not used in years) does not want to work. I was given the device to heat and swirl a while back and had never used it. Oh well it's pan seared in butter tonight.
Sometimes you have to physically put pressure on the top of the sealer when you trigger it to melt a seal.
My dad was there. He was first mate on one of the fleet oilers. They had aviation fuel on board. He said waves were coming over the bow and forward conn. It would take upwards of 30 seconds for the bow to shudder back up to the surface. They thought for sure that the ship was going to break up and they would go down with it.
I didn't have enough sense of our situation to know how much pearl we might have been in and never had a thought that we might be in anything more than extreme "discomfort".
I do know that the bow was going under the waves and at some cycles did not recover before the next wave crashed into us. From my "duty station" in what was called the clipper room (dish washing) we could look out the porthole and watch the view change from all water to all sky---for long periods of each. The passing of the juncture of the two was fleeting.
It was a long three days :yuck:
I forgot to report. The steak was actually good. Very flavorful nice marble. A little chewy in spots. For the price I would have it again.
