New Year's Log

Dec 31, 2017 — Comic #153

An officer types the midwatch log as a rhyming poem: “Moored to the pier on New Year’s Eve night, With all the right lights still burning bright. The small boats are cradled and resting fine; There’s plenty of slack in each mooring line...” It ends, “So I’ll say good night, Happy New Year to you, There’s a fire in Generator 2.”

Remember, Coasties stuck on watch: tonight you can get away with making ridiculous New Year’s log entries

0000-0400 01 Jan / Moored to the pier on New Year’s Eve night, / With all the right lights still burning bright. / The small boats are cradled and resting fine; / There’s plenty of slack in each mooring line. / We’re at FPCON Alpha, which I guess is a thing, / And the PACAREA Commander is our current king. / I made sure to set Yoke a while ago, / And now we’re in Charlie and not in Bravo. / So I’ll say good night, Happy New Year to you, / There’s a fire in Generator 2.
