T.S. GOLDEN BEAR continues to exercise and 鈥渇ine tune鈥� its main engines, engage cadets in the practice of good seamanship, and safely navigate towards Seattle.

Besides strong winds and high seas, vessel traffic and marine life have been encountered and managed over the last 24 hours.

The necessary 鈥渞unning-in鈥� of our main engines following the months of Reduced Operating Status (ROS) in Vallejo reduced our initial speed. Completion of that task ensures propulsion reliability up along the West Coast, through the Straits of Juan de Fuca, and into Puget Sound.

We are now making sea speed, and as rough sea conditions steadily diminish, we are regaining lost time in transit. 210 nautical miles were run under the keel today.


Cadet Watch Officers, Bridge Team Managers, and Helmsmen with Cadet Watch Engineers, Assistant Watch Engineers, and Wipers are operating GOLDEN BEAR safely up the California, Oregon, and Washington coast. Guidance and supervision by competent Faculty and Ship鈥檚 Officers are allowing the Cadets to demonstrate and refine their skills and abilities through real experience.

Emergency Steering, and Man Overboard Drills in the open sea are on tomorrow鈥檚 priority task list.

 

ETA to Berth 66 in Seattle is 12:00 noon on the 24th of May (Tuesday).

 

Safety of Life at Sea remains our top priority as Summer Cruise 2022 is now 鈥� Full Away On Passage 鈥�.

 

I鈥檓 proud to be in command of Team GOLDEN BEAR !

 

Respectfully,

 

Captain D.N. Muenzberg
