I was able to ride
Eigil's cutter back to its home port, leaving San Diego harbor Friday
afternoon & arriving in Alameda midday Sunday. The transit brought back lots
of memories & allowed Eigil to educate his old dad on what he does things
aboard. The crew demonstrated various defensive systems and survival
equipment, & even kicked-in the turbines for a display of boat speed. In
all, everyone was friendly, the food was good, & it was plain fun to ride a
ship as a guest for a change! |
