Ship's Log:
We continue to motor sail with trysail, foresail and jumbo up. People slept mediocre last night; hatches were closed so it was hot below decks.
Some people are beginning to eat and spirits are good. For a few days life slows down to a crawl while everyone just manages the simple things of day-to-day life, i.e. keeping water bottle filled, putting on sunscreen, using the head. Life will resume in a few days. Sara R. wishes her sister Becky an incredibly wonderful 19th birthday. Nice rain squall at lunch; some of us showered and everyone cooled down. Karen is enjoying her role as volunteer watch officer and is a huge help to sick trainees. Gillian did a great job in galley yesterday in rough weather; itīs a big adjustment after being tied to the dock and having most of previous leg flat calm. A good afternoon and evening, lots of sitting together, talking and laughing. We lost 2 large lures and some line to a marlin that took everything in one go.
Karen told the story "Steel Magnolia" on the after deck; sheīs a wonderful storyteller, lots of detail and expression. Until tomorrow, good night,
Bonice.
