The Ship Report: Update on USNS Mercy, ships today, and Oliver fixes a leak

<p><strong>The Ship Report, Tuesday, October 6, 2026</strong></p><p>Today&#39;s show is a bit of a potpourri, a little of this and that: I&#39;ll be answering a question about the hospital ship USNS Mercy (yes, she&#39;s still in Portland), a look at our ship schedule, and solo circumnavigator Oliver Widger is making his way down the West Coast. He fixed a freshwater leak in one of his water tanks and is good to go, sailing in beautiful seas.</p><p><br></p>
