Mullinnix left Norfolk on 11 February for her first Unitas Crusie to South America, returning on 5 May. She visited some great ports of call. Namely:

1. Port of Spain, Trinidad, BWI
2. Equator Crossing
3. Rio de Janerio, Brazil
4. Montevideo, Uruguay
5. Mar del Plata, Argentina
6. Recife, Brazil
7. Port of Spain, Trinidad (again)

After a few weeks in Norfolk, the crew manage a short trip up to New York City on 10 June to spend a couple days in the five buroughs of that great city, returning to Norfolk on 18 June.
