Cheers Mates!
Hi everyone! My name is Jannette D’Esposito and I am
taking over as Ship’s Librarian for the second half of SST 2016. Those of us
flying over for the second half made it to the ship safe and sound late on June
22. After some much needed rest and food, we all went off to explore
Dublin, Ireland.
The Temple Bar area of Dublin was very popular for shopping
and great traditional Irish fare like fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and of
course Guinness! The Guinness Factory was another popular stop especially the
Gravity Bar located on the top level. Many cadets ventured out of Dublin to
take in the wonderful views of the countryside. Castles were explored, hiking
trails were hiked and some went off to see the Game of Thrones filming
sights. We all had a wonderful time!
On Sunday June 26, we set sail and started our day with a
rather rainy drill to help us prepare for any type of emergency. Now it is time
for classes and studying as we make our way to the Mediterranean Sea. Check
back soon for more updates and photos.
