2015 Summer Training Cruise

Day 6: May 6, 2015

Posted on: May 7, 2015

Location: Anchored off Turtle Head
Weather: Mostly Sunny Wind: SSW 10-15 kt. Seas: Calm

Our first full day underway and the work is picking up. Everyone seems happy to be away from the tedium that goes with preparations to sail. The 4 companies of students will complete four-day blocks of activity before rotating to the next assignment. Check the 2015 Company Rotation Schedule (under Manual, Rotation Schedule, & Links) if you would like to follow along and know what your student is doing each day.

We weighed anchor around 1300 and are proceeding down the bay in the eastern channel. We expect to be in Whale Area North by morning so our speed will be reduced and the lookouts will be working hard.

NOTE: Track the Ship is back up and running!
