Dear Readers,
We are happy to report that Oleg Kushelev, our librarian for
the second half of the 2013 Summer Sea Term has reported in. This is
Oleg’s first cruise with the college and he has served as a volunteer with the
US Coast Guard.
Oleg writes:
Everything is well aboard
the TSES VI and everybody looks healthy and happy.
As we continue our journey more cadets are continuing to
congregate at the Library to read, study, or to just take a breather from their
various ship responsibilities.
Many students have a variety of reference questions that
cover a wide variety of subjects. As we are headed towards the Italian city of
Trieste many questions ask about its
history. They are also immersed in our
Italian study guides.
Of interest, the library is
also holding a class. This is a medical care provider class that
is run by the ship’s doctor. Students are now
learning how to take blood pressure by practicing on one another.
One thing I would like to
mention is that I find the food to be of high-quality thanks to the
ship’s cook Chef Jeff and his staff who approach their kitchen duties with
pride. I’m impressed that they are
able to feed over six hundred people three times a day, seven days a week.
We recently skirted Spain and this morning we approached
Gibraltar.
This is where we will bunker
and it should take from six to eight hours. Once we are all fueled up the next
destination will be Trieste!
Until next time,
Oleg.
P.S.
