Ahhh, beautiful Marseilles, France. Our first port call, fantastic Mediterranean location, deep blue water, just a mile or so out of reach. The Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica rises above the old port area, and makes for a stellar opening picture.
Aw, I'm still smiling because its early in the port call. I had duty the first day, the sea state was really rough for the liberty launches, there were problems getting people on and off the ship, yada yada yada, the port visit got cut short and the duty day lasted about 48 hours. Smiles didnt exist at the end of that. This is less painful now since I am sitting in my room at the JW Marriott Dubai, after 54 straight days at sea. I know subs go longer, but I am just a simple dentist.
