January 25th Photos Page

Some interesting shots here of ole Big J on the frozen Delaware River.  I call these photos the round trip.  The first three were taken as I approached the ship at 0900.  I went onboard and down to Broadway, where I stayed until 1300.  Had lunch at the Geedunk, Chicken Noodle Soup, a Hot Dog and a Coke, Yum.  Then, back down to Broadway until 1630, cleaned up and headed home.  Broadway is looking really great, it's hard to believe we've been working down there almost a year now, but, when the tours open up it will be standing tall and ready for inspection!  After putting my stuff away in the paint locker it was up to the quarterdeck and then, a quick detour to the forecastle to take the middle four, some great colors on such a COLD day!  The last three were taken from the dock at about 1715 as I headed toward the parking lot for the trip back to Virginia.  On my way out I passed a large group of kids coming onboard for an overnight encampment.  That program has been a great success and I think the Docents really enjoy working with the school and scouting groups that come onboard.  Well, that's it for now, I'll be onboard again on February 8th, hope to see you there.
