Trips tracker update
I’ve been working towards calculating point-to-point latitude and longitude with position fixes I have on my maps (thefoundfaith.net) which was a bit more of a headache than I figured. Everything appears to be in working order with no bugs (yet). So give it a whirl!

St Patrick’s Day 2011
Its been a while since I’ve done one of these, a lot of shit has came and gone. I got back heavily into a real workout schedule and took up running again, getting close to being at my target weight and now switching to cutting up and getting stronger. My boat went into the dry docks at the beginning of February, which has left us working pretty long and consistent hours. However the first week of March I was informed that I was going to be temporarily assigned to the USS Boone (FFG-28) while they deploy on Southern Seas 2011. Yes, thats the same exact deployment I went on last year with my ship, however I was talking to a reliable source who informed me that we’ll be going to a few different ports and that all of the ports should be a bit better quality than the ones I went to the first time. It hasn’t been cleared yet if I’m staying there the whole deployment, but I’m planning on it.
With little spare time I’ve had recently I got back into downloading books and throwing them on my nook. I was completely unaware of Into the Wild, which pretty much fit in with what I see myself doing for a few years when I get out of the service. I’m still working through Moby Dick, I had an issue with it disappearing a while back and finally got it reloaded onto my nook. I’ve been in quite a binge in regards to traveling aimlessly and the open wild, so the following new additions to my library are only fitting:
Vagabonding
A Walk In The Woods
Mysteries of Easter Island
Two Years Before The Mast
A Criminal and An Irishman
