During the summer the new plebes arrive at the Naval Academy and go through training for 6-weeks. Some of that falls to us in seamanship and navigation. We teach them about line handling, how to be a lookout on a ship, and the basics in damage control like firefighting and pipe-patching. Friday I had to take a group up to Baltimore on the YP so they could go to the Damage Control trainer there. It is funny because it only takes about 30 minutes to drive to Baltimore, but it is 4 hours by YP. Quintin and the girls met me on the pier when I got back. You might not be able to see me, but I am waving from the bridge wing.
