Underway

So I was out to sea for the longest time yet. 9 days. Long time. Lol.  It was hell. We are going through a lot of inspections and drills. The first couple days weren't so bad. But the majority of it I was in a 6 on 6 off watch bill. Red bull was my very best friend. I got some really good pics though! 

One of the drills was called 'tow ex' that's where we tow another ship. I got to go up and see it while I was on watch. This is a really dangerous drill.

The sunsets are amazing so I have a lot of pics of the sun meeting the water.

I got to shoot! My guns name is Layla.  I did ok for my first time. I'm not good at the phraseology of it. Thats what I get to practice.  I'm looking forward to more shoots.

We were floating around the Bahamas for most of the time. The water is a diff color blue then when in port. Sooo pretty.

I had to do some top side preservation.  Thats just chipping paint and repainting.  I told my supervisor that it was too pretty to work. Lol. I ended up painting regardless. 

We could see land but we never stopped. I kept thinking it was only a couple miles to shore and that I should just jump. Lol.
