2015 Summer Training Cruise

Day 8: May 8, 2015

Posted on: May 10, 2015

Location: 36 40.3 N   070 38.5 W    Course: 197    Speed: 13.3
Weather: Partly Cloudy   Wind: ESE 10 kt.   Seas: 3-5 foot swells

We are making good time and expect to be off of Hatteras by night. Due to the low pressure system that has recently been named Tropical Storm Ana, we will be changing course to have our track run more to the East as we proceed down past the Carolinas with the plan to pass through the Bahamas before swinging back North to Charleston. The seas are picking up a bit but we don’t expect anything too rough at this point.

Alpha is finishing up their last day of watch for this cycle and Delta is completing Training Day 5 while Charlie does the cleaning on Utility and Bravo starts a three day run of Maintenance.
