"....An NBC camera crew has been on the ship all day and is preparing a
segment for the Monday night Tom Brokaw Show. It may be on as soon as December
11th.
CBS was also here today. National Public Radio is coming. Navy Times and
Stars and Stripes have been here already.
We will not leave Gibraltar before Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. We must
go to the Spanish side of the harbor for fuel, and they are now celebrating a
week long national holiday which ends Sunday.
Cheers and beers, we're very British here,
Jack..."
