Well currently we are back in US waters off the coast of good ol' Catalina, and well, home. Sure, we're only 2 hours away form the Port of Long Beach, but we wont be heading home until Monday morning. The USTS Golden Bear will be making up its lost liberty day. So I am heading home a day early. This is gonna be great, however sitting here drifting off of coast of home is making the hours drag on. When we get back on the 29th, unfortunately the show isnt all over at that point in time. WE have to get back at midnight and then do the official change over the next morning, and that will be the end of cruise.
Today a very interesting thing happened at quarters. We heard what seemed like two repetitive explosions and the whole helo deck shook and it felt as if something smacked into the back of my neck. Now the rumor going around the ship are that either it was a sonic boom from a plane from the nearby Naval Air Base at Miramar or artillery shells from San Clamenete Island. Some people were even talking about Naval war games, but the ship can sometimes be like a big water cooler.
All strange sounds aside, I'll be home in a few days.
See ya around and,
Stay Frosty,
Steven Robert Schiesser
