Helsinki, Finland to Stockhlom Sweden

Hello All -

Yesterday was pretty fun, long, and exhausting but had a great
evening, so I thought that I would share.

My morning began at the awesome time of 11am. YEAH!! Then we had
rehearsal for 4 hours for the variety show that we had last night.
The Variety show consisted of the singers that are onboard and do the
shows for the ship. A string duet made up of the hotest girs on the
planet, and then our Cruise Director doing a few songs. The string
players did a show the night before and it was awesome. Not only are
they extreme eye candy, but they can play like its no body's business.
bonus: one of them is also moving to NY to pursue music. yes
please.

So last night ended at about 1am because there was dancing in the
club, a private crew party in one of the restaurants, a pianist in the
obersavtion lounge, and all of those things needed my attention
because they all had music. So basically it was a kill me please
night. Today was light and tomorrow looks to be as well. That is
until 4pm rolls around. We have a sail away party, an evening
lecture, then set up the set for an evening production show.
retarded. we will be working till midnight or later. not yeah.

I will attach a seperate post with the pics from Finland and Stockholm.

peace and love

St. Petersburg, Russia Pics

Hello blog readers.

So I will be coming home in October for a mandated 2-month break.
Super gay. The Norwegian Labor Union mandates this time period off
from the boat apparently.

I will be home for Thanksgiving at least. So I would go back
December 27th. Yeah I get to be home for a while. I miss all my
American places, eateries, locations, smells, etc.

Not a whole lot has been going on lately, just working like crazy.
Seriously. In the last 30 days I had 100 hours of overtime. Meaning
I am working an average of 65 hours a week. Kill me please. But I am
continuing to lose weight, so I am looking super sexy. Don't hate. I
didn't get any pictures in Estonia because it looked like a container
ship graveyard. Very dismal. Although St. Petersburg isn't a whole
lot better, but there was a Russian sub, so if course its Red October.
And there are tons of churches all with golden roofs. I only got
like 4 hours of sleep last night, so this will be short, as I don't
even know what today is, im too tired to care.

Love you all

Miss you all

See you in 3 months!!

Children of the corn...

Well folks its that time again…shout out to my followers, uncle Rob, Uncle Ken, Mom , Dad, siblings, cousins, and well that’s about it. My family is my followers.


We are crusing the North Sea again headed towards Amsterdam. Good ‘ol Amsterdam. A person could really get messed up in this place where Weed, and hookers are literally on every street corner. But I shall be going on shore to have lunch tomorrow. It should be straight up baler. I got off the yacht when we were in Bergen, Norway. The pictures on shore that are on my facebook page should be a giveaway. It was surreal finally getting off this thing for a bit, and I cant wait to do it again tomorrow in Amsterdam. I will take tons of pictures tomorrow, so I will get those on asap.

Tomorrow is a light day, thankfully. Which is the reason that I am getting off the boat. We have a party on our pool deck. We are overnight in Amsterdam, so I get a night of calm sleep, and a non-rocking shower. If you have looked at my pictures you will see how small this freaking shower is. The curtain is out of control. It is made of Velcro. But not the kind of Velcro you are thinking of, it’s a special Velcro that attaches to wet, or dry skin. It’s a non-discriminating skin Velcro. On top of that it’s a total of 3 feet wide, so imagine washing your hair and your arms are free and moving and care-free. Now imagine that your elbows are tied together with a vice grip, and then you will get a sense of how you HAVE to wash your hair. That’s enough of my anger towards the shower.

3 more days then we finally have freedom. The install period will be over, and we will be on a normal schedule of cruising. There is a lot to do however even in normal cruising. Not only do I run the sound for all 11 decks and all 760 feet of this massive vessel, but I also make sure that the satellite is working properly and changing parameters on the satellite receivers to make sure that they channels are all working. And I also upload new movies each month, which is a pain. We get a slew of movies from places and they have to be individually decoded, and each one takes like 40 minutes. So I have quite a bit to do when there aren’t shows going on.

Well I miss all of you a lot, and I cant wait to see you all again soon!!

Chadillac!

England, Scotland, Denmark (The Faroe Islands)…

It been a while since I put up anything with any substance on here. I am jamming to Boyz II Men – Evolutions CD track 3 “The Girl in the Life Magazine”. So good..

Anyway – We are in the middle of the North Sea on our way to Recyveck (NOT spelled right) Iceland. We were in London for 3 days. It was back-to-back press and promo for the new yacht. There were movie stars, press from all over, and all the execs from carnival cruise line. Carnival is our parent company. Mickey Arrison is basically the richest person in the world, the CEO of Carnival. It was the christening ceremony head-lined by Twiggy. She is the godmother of this vessel. We smashed some champagne, and had a bunch of fireworks. Baller. I included a link to the picture I took of this event on the previous post. Refer to it for the link.

Our first port of call was Invegorden, Scotland. I posted those pics today and they are in the mobile uploads section of my facebook page. I will get them to there own album with a link available for all of you who don’t do any facebooking so you can see them as well. It was awesome, I mean I haven’t been off the yacht yet to see any of these locations in person, but we are in Europe for the next 5 months. I will get a chance to see them up close and personal soon.

We were in The Faroe Islands today, its getting super cold! The Faroe Islands are part of Denmark. It was also awesome. Those pictures will get uploaded some time tomorrow, if I have free time. It’s a full sea day so that means a full entertainment schedule, from tours, to lectures, to shows, to pre-show show, etc. My day starts at 7:00 am and ends about midnight. ‘Tis the life an audio engineer onboard the worlds best luxury yacht line.

Well people I am jamming Boyz II Men newest CD “Love” - Iris. It’s a compilation CD of love song. BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION. THEY ARE STILL ON FIRE WITH THEIR VOCALS HARMONIES.

ALL MY LOVE!!

Ciao!

London

Well it’s been a while since I last posted. Sorry everyone. Since we last spoke I have sailed around Spain, and France and have come ashore to London, England. Much has been happening on the yacht.

Its freaking nuts here. We are almost to a normal working schedule, but it certainly hasn’t been this week. I’m talking more than I have worked before. I’m literally talking about 19 hour days. Its been hell, but the next (insert some length of time) that I am working for this company will be splendiferous. I am not going to be able to check out the sites this time around, but we come through London a lot, so I will be able to see up close all the landmarks that I took pictures of from the top deck of the yacht.

Not much to type. Im exhausted. 17-hour day today. Its 11:35pm local time, and I am going to just pass out now. I am including a link to the face book page where you can view all the picture that I have taken the last few days.

All my love from Europe!!

Chad
