The Tiger Cruise

Downtown San Diego
Jim Isbell
I picked Jim Isbell (cousin - mom's side) and Dr. Terry Clark (UCO professor and good friend) in San Diego for a quick Tiger Cruise on board USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) to Everett, WA.

When I drove them to the base, I said, "Here's my office!"...and their jaws hit the floor! 20 stories, 4.5 acre flight deck, over 3000 compartments, 70 jets and helicopters, and nearly 5000 Sailors!

I think they had a a great time (thanks Diane and Sue for letting your new "sailors" join me on this little adventure on the high seas. They will probably need to be rocked to sleep because at the end they were getting use to it on the ship.
