Our Ride to the Shore

[Sgtleo]

 

If you hate boat trips and deep water how about a boat (ship is proper term my Navy brother would have told me) ride like this from the ETO back to NYC. This was on one of the calmer days.

 

The entire trip took ELEVEN (11) days to complete. We had a couple of guys that almost died from being so seasick and got dehydrated plus the two step quick march etc.

 

There were also a couple of days we were not allowed out on deck because the deck was UNDER WATER. Glad I was brought up in a seaport and grew up around all kinds of boats. Never got sick and ate a lot of the chow the other guys couldn't even look at. Wasn't about to waste food after 2+ years on rations!!
