The Eagle is a USCG Cadet training ship.
They sat off the back side of Loggerhead for two days.
We kept expecting to see a longboat come ashore from the Eagle, but they never showed up.
I couldn't believe there wasn't a mutiny...
How do you sit off an island like Loggerhead for two and a half days and not get Shore Leave?
The only thing I can think is that the Cadets must have really screwed up and Shore Leave on Loggerhead got cancelled. After a little reflection and checking, it seemed like they were just returning from Veracruz Mexico and hadn't cleared US Customs and needed to hit their next official port of call before making "real" landfall.
TBG out-
