We wake to a dreary ocean, overcast with occasional rain. The ride is OK, rolling through 10 degrees with an occasional dip that makes you pause while walking. Probably because we don’t have our sea legs yet!
So, we are off the Maryland coast and it has warmed up significantly. Our track brought us over to the west to take advantage of the high-traffic area off New York, making the bridge watch work a little harder. We’ll follow the coast until Cape Hatteras when we break off to the east for Crooked Island in the Bahama Back.
Today is Sunday, and usually we have a Sunday at Sea – meaning there is very little work. But since we have so much to do everyone is working today. The faculty coordinators will be briefing the upper class cadets from the different majors, in anticipation of the first training day tomorrow.
We are sailing toward the location of the El Faro sinking, due there at 1200 on the 12th. Plans are underway on how we honor those seafarers and MMA graduates.
