<p>**EAGLE is parked in the middle of the North Atlantic High pressure system, having to rely on her diesel engine to carry her to Bermuda on time. The crew and cadets are busy with training and making the ship ready for the show in Bermuda and the upcoming Change of Command ceremony in Charleston. On a 73 year old ship, that is not an easy task!</p>
<p>After crossing the Atlantic again, the permanent crew is greatly looking forward to getting back towards the USA and being able to be in closer contact with family members. Being in the same time zone goes a long way!</p>
<p>The class of 2012 is finishing up their EAGLE studies and getting ready for the second half of their summer, while the class of 2010 is making preparations to receive the second half of the 3/c class.</p>
<p>With no wind, it’s tough to sail, but the good news is the sun is shining and the weather is warm, so all in all it’s a great day to be underway!</p>
