Well, it's been almost a month since my last post. We just finished up a port visit in Guam. I was not really all that impressed. Apparently, the island was hit by a typhoon 2 months ago. There is lots of storm damage present. The downtown "tourist" area is built up and a little expensive but the rest of the island seems economically depressed. Looks like the slums.
I got to play golf. Did ok. Shot a 112 (yeah, that's 40 over par) but I had fun doing it. Starting to hit my drives farther and straighter, though. Got very sunburned that day. I recommend spf 90 or wear a flannel shirt. Now we're back out in the ocean floating around in circles. We are now deployed in the war on terrorism. How much of a role we will play is anybodys guess.
I'm looking forward to our final port visit where I hear the natives are very nice. Won't be for several months, though. Hope to stay in that port for quite some time. Yeah, it's Bremerton. Until later...
