from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Re Re Re Re Re Re Re Hi Hi Sweetie, I just received word from the captain that we will be changing ports and will not be hitting Algeciras tomorrow, but will make port next in Fos Sur Mer. I don't know what this means for when I'll get home as it is a new port and I don't know how long it will take to get home. We are scheduled to be getting in port there on Monday, so I think I should be home by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. I might also get phone internet later on. If I do, I'll let you know.

Still not much to report on this end, unless you want to hear me complain about how early everyone in my ULINK group likes to have meetings again. :P Oreo seems to be Spot's lieutenant. XD I've seen him defending the territory by himself before so that wouldn't surprise me. I love you and miss you. Can't wait until you're home. <3 ~Lauren ax07 wrote: from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Re Re Re Re Re Hi Hi sweetie, :) I will. Today we started going slower, but I don't know if that means anything or not. It's not a lot slower, so if it's an indicator of arrival time, it just means a day later or something, I think. Right now, the captain hasn't told me of any changes, but I haven't seen her since this afternoon. As of this afternoon, no decision from the port still. Hugs. Love you too. That's alright. Sometimes that's better than having many stories to tell. Aww. Maybe Oreo is taking over while spot's not around. :) Love and miss you also. And I look forward to being home.

I don't have much planned food-wise and would need to change the grocery list. Have you received no more updates from the captain? You said you weren't hearing much from the port. Sounds like that hasn't changed? Hugs. I love you. There isn't much else to report here. It's just the norm. Work, home, sleep, ULINK, etc. I wish I had some entertaining story but it's been pretty dull. I did see Oreo last night hanging out in front of the apartment but that's about it. Haven't seen Spot for a couple days. I love you and look forward to having you home. Miss you. ~Lauren ax07 wrote: from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Re Re Re Hi Hi sweetie, Yes, I got both of them. No worries. And yeah, if we do get in on the 20th, I'd be coming home on the 22nd, so next Monday. I have a sneaking suspicion that we're going to get stuck outside the port though. Oof. I'm sorry. *hugs* wish I could help with something. I love you and miss you too. I'll let you know if anything changes or if I confirm our arrival time/date/etc. Love, Zach lu01 wrote: from:lu01 to:ax07@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Re Re Hi Hi sweetie, I think I shut down the browser too soon so you may get two of these. If not, I said that that all makes sense. If you're getting in on the 20th then you'd be getting home as early as next Monday or Tuesday? There's not much else going on here other than the usual work stuff. I'm still bogged down with ULINK. There's a major event on the 31st so we're cramming to be ready. It's tiresome. -_- Aside from that's it's just all the usual new school year prep. I love you and miss you. Let me know when you find out about your arrival. ~Lauren ax07 wrote: from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Re Hi Lol. I know. Ugh, that sounds like not a fun day. *hugs* So, right now, the port in Agleciras isn't telling us much as to when we're going to be able to make port. We are traveling fast, with the idea being that we'd get there in the afternoon on the 20th. The captain was hoping to know more by today or tomorrow. So far, there has been no indication of when they would be allowing us to make port. We may get close and have them tell us to slow down or that we have to wait 4 days to get into port or something. I don't really know, and it sounds like they're not telling the captain either. I might be in port this weekend, but it might go until next week. We're about halfway there, so timing is tracking for our arrival on the 20th. We'll see if we have to wait outside of the port or slow way down before we get there. I love you too and would also rather kiss you than die. :) Zach lu01 wrote: from:lu01 to:ax07@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Re Hi Hi sweetie, lol you know how my mom is, she has to Mrs. Bennet at everything. I'm sure she's fine. Last I saw about Barry it made landfall but I didn't have the tv on much yesterday and today's been non-stop. I had a ULINK meeting all morning, and have another on Friday. Then next week I'm going to have to Skype in on one of my days off. -_- Then it was just a deluge of emails for projects I'm involved with and...yeah I'm glad to be home. I'm a little confused...you're arriving in Algeciras on the 20th? This Saturday? But you'll know more Tuesday or Wednesday next week? Did you give me an incorrect date or are you really going that fast that you'll be off the boat in five days? Can you please clarify this? I love you and would rather kiss you than die. :P ~Lauren ax07 wrote: from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Re: Re Hi Hi Sweetie, :) good to hear from you too. Yeah, so far the weather has been really good and calm. You can tell her that if it helps. How is Barry doing in the gulf? did it stall over somewhere? Last I saw, over the weekend it was supposed to make landfall and start petering out. Ugh. That sucks. *hugs* Arrival date so far is the 20th, but that is likely to change depending on the port in Algeciras. The captain said that she would know more hopefully by tuesday or wednesday next week. I also plan on asking about internet soon. If I get it, I'll send you a message. Last I heard, you get up to 2 hours of connection per day. Love you and miss you also. Zach lu01 wrote: from:lu01 to:ax07@noaa.gov subject:Re: Hi Hi sweetie, I'm glad to hear from you. It's been quiet around here. I've been watching Avatar, exercising and reading. It's quiet without you. There's not much else happening. Mom is worried about you being on a boat when there's a hurricane. >.> I reminded her you're in the Atlantic and Barry is in the Gulf. I have that full day ULINK meeting tomorrow, sigh. That's about it. I love you and miss you. hugs. ~Lauren ax07 wrote: from:ax07 to:lu01@noaa.gov subject:Hi Hi sweetie, Sorry I haven't messaged so far. The past couple of days have been mostly working or sleeping, unfortunately. Yesterday was nice as they had a barbecue for the whole crew and I got to sit and enjoy that for a little while. How are things at home? Unfortunately not much to report here. Everything is working alright so far. Love, Zach
