On our way to Chuuk State, Micronesia


One of the helicopters from USNS Mercy (GPS N 7 24.0160 E 151 49.3564) takes flight over Tonowas Island in Chuuk State, Micronesia.


Sunset (GPS N 5 5.7019 E 152 36.0579) the evening before we arrived in Chuuk.


Later the same evening we could see Venus and (just barely) Mercury in the western sky.


VERTREP (Vertical Replenishment) from USNS Richard E. Byrd (GPS S 7 42.8053 E 150 52.1770), a new Navy supply ship, two days after USNS Mercy left Port Moresby.


Moonrise over the Pacific, the evening after Steel Beach, from USNS Mercy.
