| SHIP'S
LOG
As we prepare to leave the
Mediterranean Sea tonight, we are starting to feel a little "ocean
motion". The Seas and winds have picked up. We are are coming back
to the reality of sea life, which means that we should make sure
that our gear is stowed for sea. Should things get worse we don't
want to have our gear flying all over the place.
This morning 4th class C
company learned the basics of entering a confined space and also how
to get an injured person out of a space. These are very important
lessons to learn on a ship. There is nothing simple about anything
we do, and there are many dangers associated with our trade. It is
our mission to educate the students on what the dangers are and how
to understand and manage the risks onboard a vessel.
The best way to teach something is to
walk them through an evolution. So this morning we educated them on
the process, and allowed them the opportunity to test a space and
finally enter one of our deep cavernous tanks. A place where few
people go.
Mother nature allowed the students an extra
hour of sleep last night as we start our series of clock changes.
Note that our Longitude shifted from East
to West overnight. This is a good sign that we are heading in the
right direction.
