Ship's Log:
Today was an idealic day in the middle of nowhere. Itīs hard to believe itīs January as itīs 38 degrees and most of us come from the Great White North. Had a swim stop today. The water was gatorade blue and, with the risk of sounding cliche, crystal clear. We swam in watches, the bottom a mere kilometer below, while the rest kept an eye out for unwanted aquatic visitors with sharp teeth. Who knows what swims beneath.
As most exciting events on board are centered around food, I feel compelled to report that we had a variety of amazing, fresh bagels for lunch. Another sailfish was caught this afternoon, but since we gorged ourselves on his brother the day before, it was let go. We should reach Cocos Island sometime tomorrow.
In other exciting news, Skipper has bestowed upon me, Amanda, the prestigous job of making todayīs daily report sound interesting. Hi dad.
