Captain's Log

July 16, 2006

Sunday at sea is for the most part, just another day.  Classes, watches and day work continue and the galley serves 3 meals a day.  However, this Sunday was a little different as the weather was very good, not hot, but very pleasant.  Work on the ship had progressed well during the week and most day workers got the afternoon off.  Classes also finished early.  By early evening, students and staff alike were gathering on the aft deck for fishing, relaxing and for the BBQ.

The afternoon events were highlighted by our weekly man overboard drill at 1500.  The crew has advanced well and the event went almost perfectly with almost no guidance from the ships officers. 

Tomorrow, back to work and the long day routine.
