It was a long day for Charlie 4/C today. They completed their second deck exam, engine flashlights, and second engine exam. The gentle rolls continued today with fine weather and overall good working conditions. The clear weather is providing good opportunities for the 2/C deck students to get work done on their navigation notebooks.
