Ship's Log:
We woke and thought "hmm, what a perfect day for sailing." And so we did. The sun was hot, the sky was blue and the wind was windy. We cruised through the night with the foresīl, jib and trisīl and early this afternoon we raised the main. The full, powerful sail was greeted with hoots and cheers as we increased our speed to an impressive 9 knots. If we keep at this rate, we should be at Pitcairn in a mere ten days!
Mollyīs birthday added to the excitement of the day and I write this while my shipmates continue to enjoy the after effects of generous amounts of cake. We were right, it WAS a perfect day for sailing.
