Happy New Year, everyone.
We've had a wonderful Holiday season this year. I had some much needed time away from the ship. I got to spend some much needed time with Nannette and the girls. It's sad that in a few short days I will be stuck on the ship for what will seem like an eternity... but will only be 6 months. We will be sailing around the world from Bremerton, Washington all the way around to the east coast of the US. Luckily, I will be flying back to Bremerton shortly after we make port next summer. My sea time will be over FOREVER... never to hear those yucky words again... " Underway... shift colors."
Until next time... Have a Happy New Year.
