Yes, y'all are right but the situation is fluid concerning other shipmates, evrybody will want to go home & Iwill help them out as best that I can. The bike has been tried & lost bfore on the USCGC RARITAN in NYC Harbor. There is no place to store the bike, but a bike is a relatively easy item to come across when traveling, I've done THAT before, in a pinch.
I a plnning for a little cross country to hook up with an East-West railroad ine hat I can follow home & hich allows me to keep a lower profile along the way.

The best luck is what you make yourself!
