On the way back

Stopped for lunch in Alvin on the way - probably will be rolling around 2:15, so home by 6 maybe.

Morning activities

Rowing practice - in the background fire extinguisher practice (always fun).

Bridge of Honor

A rare treat - two quartermaster awards being awarded, Blair Talley and Jeff Wisdom.

We are up and getting ready for an early start over to the marina; if the weather holds everyone should get out on the water sometime today.

Initial Post

We've long used a blog to share trip progress with troop families. It seems time to attempt that for the ship as well. Hopefully you'll see progress reports and photos from our outings here.
