We have been offloading supplies, training gear, surplus food items, equipment, and trash since yesterday. Hopefully the bulk will finish today. Off load and cleaning are always a big part of putting the ship alongside and keeping her open to visitors, maintenance work, inspections and overhauls.
Work never ceases, it's just a little less hectic and there is a lot less help available.
Tomorrow is final room inspection, key turn in and offload of students and their gear. Once their check out sheet is completed Passports and Shellback certificates will be issued and everyone will be on their way. We expect the galley to shut down tomorrow morning, reducing our electrical load to the point where we can shut down the ships generators and switch over to shore power. Over the next few days we will be configuring the ship for the Summer lay period. The students will start summer maintenance on Monday.
