February is complete.
Other than Mardis Gras, not much of interest. Still sitting in port at New Orleans recruiting lots of boys and shipping them off in groups of 30 or so to various locations for training.

May is complete. Most of the month the Kearsarge was off the coast of Virginia doing training exercises with the fleet. I expect the navigation plot to be interesting. They kept changing direction almost every hour for about 20 days.
