NEFSC May Cruise 2013 – Shopping, etc.

It’s Day 3 on the hook, and we’re all starting to go a little stir crazy.  There was no port call to Provincetown.  We’ve been keeping busy by working, reading, shopping (RGT gets a new shirt!!), watching movies and Arrested Development (we’re excited to stream the new season today thanks to Chris’s fancy wireless card), and – of course – playing Peanut.  Whitney and Kira are also staffing a friendship bracelet factory of 2 that rivals the production rate of a sweatshop.  They are graciously making them for everyone on the team. If nothing else, you get to see pictures today that are NOT in the blue-gray color palate.

NEFSC May Cruise 2013 – Retreating

The “bad water” is back and we’re headed for Provincetown (Cape Cod Bay) to drop the anchor and wait out the weather.  Fingers crossed that the captain gives us permission to deploy the small boats and ferry ourselves to shore.  It will be a cruel irony to sit at anchor for days, over Memorial Day weekend, while in sight of land (and establishments that serve cold beers).
