Anchored Off the Coast and Skype Him!

For anyone interested in using Skype to talk to Andrew, here's his Skype name:  andrew.styes

If you aren't familiar with Skype, it's a great web-based communication tool.  And, you can use it for a video chat if you have a web cam or a built in camera in your computer.  You'll need to download Skype from the internet, create an account for yourself (it's free!), and set up a username.  Then, you'll want to e-mail Andrew and tell him your Skype name so he can add you to his address book.

Skype is really easy to use and it saves you from having to use an international calling service to talk with Andrew.

Currently, his ship is anchored off the coast indefinitely.  There are some major mechanical issues with the ship that they're hoping to fix asap so they can resume their duty at sea.  During the ship's down-time, he has more access to internet and cell connection which makes reaching him more likely.

The international cell number is very hard to reach him on, the message is a Latin women's voice and your not really sure if she is getting Drew his messages, I do not think so, due to three messages I left for him on that celll number with no return from Andrtew, so I say use skype if possible if you are trying to speak to him... That is the way the Navy works I guess.
