Tall Ship Eagle3/c Brian Shields
Looking back, my time on Eagle has gone by pretty fast: we only have ten days left. I’m looking forward to the next phase, but Eagle has been pretty good. As we started to make our way to Monaco, I was assigned in the Operations Department. That included standing helm and lookout watches and other training. At first it seemed like there was not enough time for sleep, but you get used to it. Monaco was a blast and then we took a short trip to Cassis, France. The best thing I did there was cliff dive.
We’ve been underway for a while and now I’m working in the Support Department, which includes mess cooking and keeping the boat clean. The next nine days I will change to Engineering Department. One thing about Eagle is that you really get to know your classmates a lot better. Eagle is not all fun and games: we work hard, but in the end it has been a good experience.
