Ahoy Mateys!



An update on the sailing boy. Last evening he called to say they were anchored off Key West. He'd been snorkling all day, seen tons of wonderful swimming things. Someone on board caught a 3' barracuda which they threw back. After an initial bout of seasickness he seemed much better yesterday (thank goodness) He's done a night watch (4-6 AM)...but Jack Sparrow must have been out of the area. No pirates or Cuban refugees on his watch!

Today they will have shore leave in Key West all day. Patterson said everyone was ready to be off the ship for a day! They will start their trip back up the coast tomorrow morning and should be back at Sea Base on Thursday afternoon. Sound like fun...for those who don't get motion sick...which definately lets me out!!
