Memorial Day

Well today we had a nice relaxed day due to the holiday. In honor of memorial day, and due to the fact that we are a government owned vessel, we had the honor of flying our colors(flags such as the national ensign) while underway. It is custom not to fly a ship's colors while underway, due to the fact that 1.) no one is around to see it and 2.) the constant use can wear out the flags. But on memorial day it is declared by presidential decree for us to fly our flag, something that is done very gladly. Usually we have BBQ's on Sundays, however this weeks was moved to today in, again you guessed it, honor of memorial day. I will have some photos posted later of the BBQ and the beautiful sunset at sea. ave a great day and email me sometime.


very respectfully,
