This is it...

Here comes the big sail. It's been a long week of lectures giving them and receiving them.

Come 0645 Sunday morning I will be sailing for 6 weeks for readiness drills on the ships. 4 weeks of that then 2 weeks of a missile exercise.

With all this stuff comes 2 ports visits to Ireland. One to Belfast for 3 to 4 days, all of which are a working port and then a 5 day stint to Dublin for some what will be much deserved and needed rest.

All in all it should be eventful to say the least, although a lot less sleep than I am used to.

Should I actually be able to connect to the net with a connection decent enough I will upload some pictures throughout the sail.

Until then.
