Well the deployment has started and we are just beyond the 6 month countdown to JR's return! Every day is one day closer. He does have email access, which is a god send. However, the Internet access is terribly slow. So, JR asked that I post his journey on our travel blog for family and friends... So as he send pictures and information, I will post for all to see!
Port Visit 1 - Funchal, Portugal:
JR made it safely across the pond to Funchal, Portugal in just over a week. It was a farely calm and uneventful voyage, which is what this wife wanted to hear. The first stop was just for 1 day. JR wasn't able to make it off the ship due to the duty rotation, but did get a picture of the city from the water front. He joked that some of the young sailors were hit by the medeira bus. They were unaware just how strong the Portuguese wine is. Being from a heavily Portuguese area, we were well aware. It looked like a beautiful city... Well it's back to sea for the crew and on to the next port. More details to come!
