Deployment Update!!!
Hey guys,
I know its only been a month so far but I hit my first port and I wanted to share.
Everything in Palau is beautiful, anice opertunity to get a little tan and R & R before I head to the gulf. I went kayaking and jungle walking while I was there. I also swam in jelly fish lake a once in a life time thing. Palau is also the place where they filmed Survivor. I went the the beach where one of the tribes set up camp. Really cool stuff.

Wow that place is georgous, I spent a lot of time in SE Asia working as an engineer in various paper mills all over that area. However the only place I went where it was remotely as nice as the area where you were was Bali Indonesia, a few places on the Malaysian peninsula and Thailand. Otherwise most of the places where I had been in those areas were just dumps.

The place I was at was Korror, Palau. Its a amazing place I also visited numberous islands around it. We are off to our next indevor so Ill give you guys a trivia question. And this answer will lead you to my next port visit.
Who has the largest fleet of Bentleys (The Lux. Car)?
Ill post up some of the really cool pics once I get them off my camera. Soon Ill be jealous of the nice summer you guys will have.
So to sum it up I lost 2 frisbees, a tennis ball, football, and a wiffle ball to the sea. We play catch when we are doing 20 knots on Sunday afternoons at sea.
Later all!
BTW I also went into a swimming area where it was only 6 feet deep. It was called the Milky Way, reason being it is covered in white clay. They told us as we were in it, that it was crap from numberous inhabited creatures in the water. Basically looked and felt like bat crap. After we found out we threw it at each other. It was funny and gross at the same time.

Most of the collection of vehicles is stored and serviced in five aircraft hangars,
where specialist teams from the various manufacturers maintain the collection.
It's not too far of a trip from where you were.
