I just recently returned from a trip I took on the Maersk Sealand Mercury a 903 foot container vessel. I was on there just as a learning experiance since I'm a marine inspector and always regulating these types of ships. Got on in Houston and stayed on it 35 days till it returned to houston. In the 35 days we went from Houston to Miami, Norfolk, Rotterdam Holland, Felixstowe UK, Bremmerhaven Germany, Newark, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and back to Houston. Had a pretty interesting time and got to see quite a few places I haven't been. It took 7 days to cross the atlantic the first time and we slowed down for schedule sake on the way back and took 10 days. Saw alot of water.

This weekend I'm going camping with the boyscouts as a leader. We're going to be building catapults and competing for accuracy and distance. Hopefully i can find a challenge for the XK while i'm out.

That's whats going on Chez moi.
