The Florida Sea Base has been fortunate in dodging the rain – so far. Yesterday’s forecast was for 60% chance, but we received NO rain. We had a 50% chance overnight and had a clear, starry sky instead. But, it is probably going to catch up with us before the week is over. Here’s our forecast from the National Weather Service:

We have completed “Admin Day” of the summer staff training. Thank goodness that’s behind us! Maybe the best part was the staff contributing over 60 units of blood and platelets to the local blood bank. Now we will have a few days to spend on department specific training. For the scuba staff that includes a lot of rescue scenarios, learning about compressor use and maintenance, learning to present our evening continuing education courses, first aid, CPR, and oxygen provider refreshers, how to conduct scuba reviews, and a few other topics that have slipped my mind.
By the time most of you read this, the BSA Burglar should be underway from Slidell, LA to the Florida Sea Base. Godspeed gentlemen.
Here we go again. I am REALLY getting too old for this!
