September 6th Photos Page |
|
Onboard on August 23rd and again on September 6th, some photos from those workdays are below. On both days I worked on more portholes on the main deck, I should finally be finished with all 48 of them on my next visit, as long as the weather cooperates. Other members of the Brass Team spent the day shining brass in the handling room below Mount 56. Not much else exciting to report from these two days onboard, just a lot of dirty work, and long trips back to Virginia afterwards. I'm used to both the dirt and the long rides, and can't wait to make the trip again. Anyone out there interested in getting their hands dirty and putting in a good days work onboard, come on down, you won't be disappointed! |
