"Whoa Nellie!" was launched on Sept 9th, 2001, at the headwaters of the Mystic River, in Old Mystic,CT :) Unfortunately the events on Sept 11th precluded my actually sailing her until last Wed :( Some of you here may ALSO have recieved orders to report to your Duty Stations. I recieved my orders to report to US Coast Guard Station New London, as I am a USCG Reservist :) My CO gave me 24 hour Liberty to get her over to the Station, as we are on full alert status, protecting the harbor, Naval Submarine Base, CG Academy, Electric Boat, and Millstone Nuclear Power STN. This is the 2nd time I have been able to get online since then, all non essential computer use is prohibited on Station at this time, so I have to get to a public computer to read email/send this. Whoa Nellie is anchored off the CG STN in New London,CT, and being watched over by the whole Station's Patrol Boats, probably the best protected M-17 in the World right now :) I have orders for 3 months out, though some have them for a YEAR already! Oh well, the Bahamas will still be there next Winter..........I wish you all well, and hope the Country gets through this soon, waking every day and putting on a bullet proof vest UNDER my lifejacket, not to mention gunbelt, gets wearing on a person's mind.......Hope to get more time on Liberty soon. God Bless you and your families, this does'nt look good going in........Capt Eugene USCGR >
