I found out this week that me and another guy from the boat are being sent down to Alemeda California to the Coast guard cutter Stedfast (which is another 210 foot boat like mine) to go on patrol down by mexico and central America, maybe even south america im not sure. Since we have been broken so long they have to send some of us to get training for when we get underway up here. Im not going to argue, I cant wait to get some warm weather!! The down there I will be driving the ship, standing lookout watches, and trying to get some new qualifications finished up. They do a lot of drug interdiction down there, so maybe I will get to do some interesting stuff! I just though I would add that, not exactly sure when I will be leaving, but I imagine it wont be to long from now. As for things up here, they are going well, just had Dad come up and visit. It was nice to see a familiar face up here, now I can take on another six months. Doing lots of work and having fun in the free time since the weather is shaping up now. Hope everyone is doing well back home! take care!

This is great news Tom!! You are gonna love the weather down in that area till you get to South America. Remember it's winter down there when it's summer up here. Had a great time with you this week! Love you! Dad
