CAPTAIN’S BLOG 16 JANUARY 2013

We are enjoying pretty nice weather down here off the coast of Florida. Although a cool weather front extends across the Gulf of Mexico, we still have 75 degrees, light winds and partly cloudy skies. The cadets are out on deck enjoying the sun and have received strong warnings to lather up with sunscreen.

I am sure many parents and loved ones heard from their cadets as we passed West Palm Beach and Miami yesterday. Between 1600 until 2200 the decks were filled with cadets and crew members with their cell phones in their ears. It had only been three days and you’d think we just made an ocean crossing! Currently,we have about 250 people registered on the email system, once we leave New Orleans and our connection to  USA cellular service, I am sure we will see more registrations.

Otherwise, not too much is happening as of this writing, but we’ll have much more to report in the next few days.
