Today kicks off the start of training cycle five. During this period 2/C midshipmen will be learning steering gear maneuvering while underway with coordination with the bridge. Praise has been given on the accuracy of students participating being nearly as good as autopilot.

During the evening we kicked off paint night with Bob Ross, which turned out to be a huge hit! Students of all majors on board appeared to test their skills, some following the instructions in the tutorial given by Bob Ross, some moving to their own painting styles and topics.
