2026 Summer Sea Term

Day 25 – 26 | Calm Waters

Posted on: May 29, 2026

Day 25 and Day 26

As we head north towards Tampa, Florida, the seas outside are flat and calm.  Lucky Cadets have gotten views of dolphins, swordfish, and flying fish as we cut through the swells.  We are on our way to Tampa after coming around Cuba to conduct some anchoring drills before we head around Florida to dock in Charleston, SC.

Junior Cadets have been busy working on their Celestial projects. This involves taking sights of the sun and stars to plot the ship’s position.
