Yesterday I had to work all day while my family was here. I started with a flight to St. Thomas at 0645. My dad was onboard the flight and it was nice to get to fly in an ATR together. I had a brand new crew that morning that I didn't know. They were nice and friendly to me so it was a good two day trip.
It was an interesting day of flying because the Island of Monserrat (the Caribbean's most active volcano) chose to erupt that day. We had to make a two hour flight into a three hour flight to avoid the ash cloud that rose to 60,000 feet! Guess what...I have only forgotten my camera one day when I fly and that was yesterday. The picture right here is one I took just a week or so before the big eruption. This morning on the way home the volcano was back to its normal state of throwing ash to 8,000 feet.
I came home tired today because my crew and my friends in Canouwan Island went out for pizza then commandered kayaks to go try to steal sailboats. I fell off my kayak when a flight attendant hit me with her paddle. That is why my shorts were hanging up in the cargo bay the whole way back today. I was out in the ocean during shark feeding time. It was pretty fun to be the only one in the water at night. Let me tell you...
Ok, I'm going to try to sleep since tomorrow we supposedly are going on a sailboat to islands or something.
