Tropical Storm Charlotte, although pretty weak, was strong enough to roll us around a bit for the first half of the day. By early afternoon things started to calm down again and we were able to open the weather decks again. In the evening, Sodexo hosted “Wing Night” on the forward mess deck. LT Fell took the opportunity to organize a hot wing eating contest that was well attended. Sam “Wing-chester” Mondonedo was crowned the Wing King, edging out Travis The Winner” Emerson, despite Emerson’s nickname. We hope to have a few photos of the action posted in the blog tomorrow.
