SWIM CALL!

Occasionally, ships at sea take a little time to blow off some steam. A hard working crew needs a break every now and then. So we stopped one day this week in the middle of the Persian Gulf for a Swim Call, navy-speak for a chance to jump over the side and enjoy the water. We put a Rescue Swimmer and a "Shark Watch" in a boat to keep an eye on us. No sharks but lots of fun! We even tied a rope to our crane for a swing. You've just got to break the monotony somehow. It was one of those times when it was great to be on a ship at sea.
