flight ops, more Haiti and MSCs

I'm outside again loving the wi-fi. I guess it has been installed on the ship. I'm waiting to be excited until I know for sure. I should teach you a term now. Scuttlebutt. defined: rumor. Rumors run rapid and I never believe anything I hear until it has been confirmed by someone with authority. I know rumors are a thing of every day life but believe me when I say they take on a whole new level here.
I took so many pictures in Haiti the day I was onshore but never got a chance to share. These women were at the public market we drove through. We were stuck in traffic for a long time. Of course I didn't mind because of the volume of activity for me to watch. People were everywhere. They were walking in the traffic that has no rules. No stop signs, no right or wrong side of the street. Everyone honking. Under the parked trucks people are selling onions and other wares.

This guy is the Bozeman {Boz} of the ship. He is one of the MSC's on board and saw the opportunity to set up a cart outside where the boats are being launched. Quite the entrepreneur. They are the engineers and captains who run the ship and aren't military. I have a matching bracelet now like the one he is wearing. The MSC's let me know that I'm officially one of the crew by wearing it. It's a cool knot type thing that has a interesting name {that I've forgotten} but it's a love knot sailors give to the ladies.
the helicopter comes and goes so often that that constant vibrating in the mess decks or seeing it hover above us is just another background noise. {and fun to watch}More fishing. One of my favorite things about life on the Comfort {other than the 3 huge meals a day} are the skies. Never the same thing twice.
