1 day left…

Ok, so I haven’t been writing much lately. I promise to catch everything up in the next month.

I passed my flashing light exam by the skin of my teeth.

I am down to 1 day of classes!!!! In the last couple of months I have taken Ship Construction and Stablility, GMDSS (got my FCC license), MedPro (medical provider/1st responder), Emergency Procedures, Search and Rescue, Flashing Light and this week - my favorite — Basic Ship Handling. We have spent the week in the simulators doing some great exercises and learning a lot about fluid dynamics and vessel handling. It’s been great.

I have some assessments in the simulator for 2 days next week and then that’s all! Oh, well….then there are 3 more months of sea time and that little thing of the week long Coast Guard license exam. But I am on the home stretch.
