Today’s course took us in between several of the Bahama Islands, and will put us just off the coast of Cuba at about midnight.

Can you say hot wings? The Sodexo cooks were at it deep into the night preparing chicken for the 2016 Summer Cruise Wing Eating Competition. Oh boy were they done right! A special thanks to Mr. Mark Strang for putting together another successful Wing Night and congratulations to MIDN Giguere for a successful bid for the 2016 Wing Champion.

As a result of a mechanical failure of a head bolt on the #4 cylinder, we will enter the Port of Tampa two days early (26^th), in order to have a little extra time to make the repair. While not an emergency, this is not a condition that we want to maintain for any protracted time and the anticipated time for a repair of this nature is about 2 days. We anticipate departing Tampa on the 31^st and will arrive in Galveston on June 6 for a three day visit.
