Sitting in the ocean wasting away

So today is day number 81 out to sea on the mighty USS Kearsarge. It seems like yesterday that i was sitting in the smoke pit talking to Melissa on the phone and waving at Jake good bye to embark on my wonderful 4 month cruise to South America. But, in that time I have been to 6 different countries, Ryan is now almost 4 months old, it is already week 10 in the college football season and i still haven't seen Nebraska play a game this season. We pulled into Trinidad to help them out even though as we look off the ship to the coast you see a skyline that resembles the skyline of a major US city. It just amazes me how much we help out other countries when we have the same issues in the United States. Don't get me wrong i don't mind helping out in other countries but its the fact that we seem to go to the wrong ones. Well anyways I think I'm going to get off here for now. Have a great night/day
