Fleet week 2010 Portland, OR
I'm typing this post from the crew quarters of my PT-boat. Man I love wireless internetz! I'll post a few photos now and videos when I get home sunday, as the internet connection is slow. (but free)
Highlites so far: Took 3 Admirals for a ride (1 3 star, 2 1 star from 3rd Strike Fleet). I earned 2 fleet battle coins. Escorted USS Bunker Hill, USS Sampson, and HMCS Vancouver into port. Spending 4 days on the PT-boat. 4 days worth of WW2 vet stories. Liberty with real Navy personel at an Oyster Bar. Cigars at Kells Irish Pub (note- this pub is monitored by M-5,as they fund raise for the IRA). Helped clear out a log jam from the boat. Watched Pt-109 on a real pt boat. Played SH-4 in the crew quarters. LCI (not part of fleet week): My home for the next 3 days: Chart room: Name these 3 Admirals: (I didn't know admirals manned guns) #rd Strike Fleet admirals and PT crew: 40 MM: Bow of PT-658: A note for Jim and Steed:
