Another day underway brings us another day closer to our first American port after two European stops, New York City. At midnight tonight, Alpha gives up the watch to Charlie Company and begins three days of training, while Bravo will begin a session of utility and Delta assumes maintenance duties. Sunshine and dolphins greeted the deck crew today as they tested the ship’s firefighting equipment. Many people are excited for Casino Night tomorrow, complete with prizes. To top it all off, we gain an hour of sleep tonight!
