Day 51: Large seas

Posted on: June 25, 2016

Location: 39° 17.1’ N, 56° 10.9’ W
Weather: Passing Squalls     Wind: 17 kts S       Seas: Moderate Swell
Alpha: Watch       Bravo: Utility       Charlie: Maintenance         Delta: Training

Midshipmen woke this morning to larger-than-usual seas and passing squalls, which have lessened in intensity through the day and ended in a beautiful evening, spent by many out on deck.  Today also marked the final day of the first company rotation, with Alpha and Bravo swapping watch and utility duties, and Charlie taking up training and giving Delta Company maintenance duties for the next three days.  Although we’re still a week out of Ireland, many students are already making plans for our first international port.
