The weather continues to hold as we continue our Eastward progress. You will note a slight alteration in our course today. We are taking a “great circle” route to shorten our transit in the hopes that we will have time to run through the Straight of Gibraltar and back out again before we are scheduled to arrive in Cadiz.

With the weather holding, the Bosun has kept students aloft each day, continuing to chip paint on the superstructure while a second group is getting paint on the areas that have already been scraped and prepared. The dehumidifier installation in the gym was completed today and the plumbing crews were hard at work clearing drains. Electrician teams are cleaning and testing the motor controls for one of the aft winches and Bravo completed pilot ladder training, knot tying (4/C), and preparations for the first test in engineering.
