Back to the US, Next Stop Norfolk




I woke up this morning and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge was outside my window. No, I was not dreaming! We came to New York to clear customs because officials routinely clear large cruise ships so they could get this done much more quickly here than in Norfolk. At lunch time we were ready for Virginia. While officers prepare for tomorrow’s arrival, first class cadets are taking over supervision of the under class for the second term. Division leaders huddled in the library for an intensive meeting. They assessed the personnel and logistics, and then set up watch and work schedules for the 400 second and third class cadets. In the meantime, the work routine continues today and tomorrow. On a ship, every day is another day.
