Students could be seen on deck today enjoying the warm sun, which is a refreshing change to most on board from the cool, cloudy skies of Ireland and Belgium. Students continue to carry out shipboard duties, as deck maintenance washes soot off the weather decks, and engine maintenance puts a fresh coat of paint on the decks in the machinery spaces. The training company learned how to use sextants on the deck side as the junior engineers learned about fuel purifiers. Utility kept the inside of the ship clean, and Charlie Company is hard at work keeping the engine running and the ship on the correct heading.
