I'm back out at Sea

Hello all

  I'm sorry that it's been a while since I posted anything, but weather hasn't been that great over the past couple of months her in Washington, so I really haven't had much of a chance to do any flying.  I'm still practicing on some 3D maneuvers and I'm very anxious to try them out on my Carbon-Z Yak.
  But now I'm back at work, and currently out in the Northern Pacific.  For those of you who don't know me, I'm a Merchant Mariner, and I work on oil tankers.  I normally work on ship for about 75 days, and then I get to come home for around 57 days.  And I just got on my current ship a week ago, so I wont be doing much flying until I get to come home on vacation again, which should be around the first part of March.  Now I did say that I wouldn't be doing 'MUCH' flying, which would indicate that I would be doing 'SOME' flying, and actually I will still be able to fly a little while I'm on the ship.  I brought my Blade MCPX helicopter with me, and I fly it around on the mess decks, and the other day I flew it around in the engine room.  It's still tight quarters for flying, so I'm not going to attempt any 3D maneuvers with it, just some hovering really.  And I did bring my RC flight sims as well, so I will still get the chance to practice even though I'm miles from shore.
  So, if you don't see any posts here on my Blog for long periods of time, it's mostly because I'm out at sea, but once I get home on vacation, and weather is nicer, I will most definitely be posting more YouTube videos, and updates to my Blog as well.

  Thanks for stopping by!
