Sunset on the high seas.
We have had great sailing for the last few days. The sun is out and drying everything out and the crew is feeling much better and operating at about 90%. Our watches have been going well although I still can’t manage to nap during the day – Adam says the inability to nap, anytime, is a character flaw. Adam and Daniel have been playing with the radar settings and, I think, are having fun trying to determine whether the blobs on the screen are freighters or fishing boats. So far fishing boats seem to win out. We had a particularly eventful day today. We have been seeing massive collections of seagrass which seem to form small islands all around us. This may not seem like much – to anyone – but it’s a change from the constant blue. It has also spurred on talk of sea grass salads and soups and Adam is convinced that if the zombie apocalypse happens while we are at sea that we could certainly harvest it for food. We also recently saw a floating barrel today - pretty exciting stuff, and have dolphins playing in the bow wave during most of the late night and early morning shifts. We have officially turned south east and are making our way towards 40 degrees. The weather continues to be beautiful and the air has warmed up considerably.
