I will be going back "home" to my own boat this time. It has been out of the shipyard and running almost ever since I got home.

I was only home 3 weeks this time.. I was a week past due when I went to that Ohio River boat and counting the 2 days traveling up there and back, I was gone that 28 days.

My Captain will not be going back with us thie time. He has many problems at home, one is his Mother has been discovered to have breast cancer and is having both breasts removed today. She is old and not well and he said the cancer she has is aggresive.
