Nate has a new home... The boat was dry docked in Baltimore (another week of Nate visiting just passed!) and Nate and his shipmates were given an apartment/townhome in Miami since their home is being upgraded.
They are spending a considerable amount of time at the Coast Guard Airbase in Miami getting everyone qualified. As firemen, they will need to have qualifications in damage control for their duties on board. Nate will have watch in the control rooms. He is relieved to be in engineering, stating that the "deckies" are all pretty dumb...
They are seeking qualification in order to prepare for borrowing another unit's vessel to go to Columbia, South America...
Nate's shipmate roommates are both Hispanic and he is trying to relearn some of that Spanish he tried so hard to forget in high school. A side benefit is that these guys know how to cook good Spanish foods and they are eating well!
