Mon 700 AM

Dear Dot and Dana,

I got two letters from you yesterday which made me feel pretty good, that made up for the day before as I didn’t get any.

I was out to sea all day yesterday and was it fun, the water was awful rough and I’ll bet the waves were 15 to 20 feet high the boat would go up and down and Gee! What a thrill. There isn’t any danger of them tipping over so don’t worry any about it. If any anything should happen we all have life jackets on and the ocean is full of boats.

About half of the guys that went out yesterday were sick as hell. I haven’t been sick yet, but there is always a first time to anything.

We got back at six and I had to go on deck watch from 8 to 12 that didn’t give me much time to sleep, but I feel good this morning. It has been nice here the last two days and looks nice out this morning.

I don’t know for sure how much longer I will be here but I think about 3 or 4 weeks.

Well dear, I haven’t got any more time.

Lots of Love and kisses,

Beecher
