Another day in
paradise aboard the Texas Clipper II as we head towards the
Gulf of Mexico. Today, senior cades are taking final
exams. The senior cadets have stayed up late at night
studying for these exams in order to impress their
instructors with their newly acquired knowledge of
subjects they have mastered this summer.
On Friday, the sophomores and juniors take their final
exams. Today, they have been very busy studying.
Cadets are studying on deck, in the cadet mess and in the
library, some are even studying for exams on steel beach as
they work on their tan. The seniors will be finished
with their exams today and on Friday will be standing watch
or doing maintenance on deck.
The seas are calm
and the skies are clear. Another beautiful day at sea.
