Well Indy is underway again after enjoying FIVE days of
liberty in Jebel Ali. This morning we got underway as the ship slowly turned into a
furnace. HOT! HOT! HOT! Summer is here and as hot as is felt while we were in
port, today had something extra special to it. So, I think everyone would agree
with, hope the heat doesn't stay too long, but, yeah I think we're stuck. Well,
today I received photos from our famous Indy photo lab, and these are a few of them.
The rest will replace photos in the Photo Gallery very
soon. Also today I finished Legal's department pages, so check
'em out.
