STCW at sea


Dear Readers,

After the ship left Trieste we sailed down Italy’s coast.  Just recently, the students participated in the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping training which took place off Pylos, Greece.  Shortly after the STCW training we passed through the Strait of Messina once more. According to Captain Smith, the ship is going to navigate in a westerly direction and then turn about towards Valletta, Malta. We should be arriving at Malta on July 21st. The students are excited and looking forward to spending time on the sunny island of Malta. The regimental office has organized a scuba diving trip in the Maltese waters, fifty cadets are already signed up.

The library is full and filled with activity as mid-term exams are beginning this week.

Until Next Time,

Oleg
