More Cool Stuff Aboard SBX



It's been the longest period I have been away from Lilah and Cadence since we came to Huntsville and I can certainly see I'm out of pratice with travelling. I really really look forward to seeing the two of them and getting back home. I know that there are plenty of others around me in my immediate setting who do this for two months at a time and my petty complaints of a mere two weeks seem unjustified, but let's be honest: I miss my girls and I'm not too proud to admit it.

This week we did a second fire and abandoned boat drill, this time loading up the emergency rescue vessels and putting on our handy "Neck Stretchers" life preservers. It was fun and I'm glad that we didn't have to do it for real.

Four more wake ups. I have a slew of other pictures, but given that I'm actually posting anything at all these days is in itself somewhat amazing, so I think I'll pace myself. If I get ambitious I will post some more of the outstanding photos from this trip.

Take care all.

It's Gumby!

Out on the SBX Vessel we did our Fire and Abandon Ship Drills today, and as luck would have it, we got to don our Immersion Suits! Really, how cool is that!?! So, without further ado, here's Gumby!

Saw this one at Engadget. What can I say, those bloggers know how to ferret out the gems!
