Howya, FRiends! I just got a phone call from SR Anoreth, who has three more weeks of training. After that, she will be going to (drum roll ...) Seattle! where she will be on a long-haul cutter cruising the North Pacific. She was hoping to go south for the winter, but oh well.
She says seamanship training is really fun, shooting was okay but the guns were awfully big, and next week, they’re learning firefighting. The food is plentiful, but she’s getting tired of it. How quickly they forget weeks of the Casserole With the Beans Again at home.
She thanks everyone who’s written.

North Pacific. Not quite as romantic as South Pacific.
A lot of crabby people, too.

North Pacific in the fall is going to be . . . cool. And damp. But she'll be fine.
She's certainly going to see the world!
