Ship's Log:
The calm was incredible today. The sea was mirror-like in itīs stillness and the division between ocean and sky was almost imperceptible. The beautiful calm of the water and the unfortunate lack of wind allowed us our first swim stop in ten days. Many who were not, are now clean. The swim preceeded the second instalment of the group dedicated to awareness of Mennonite cuisine. They served us an afternoon snack of fruit soup, plumimoos. Work continued throughout the day on our gifts for Pitcairn and a number of new clubs are slowly coming to life.
Because of our rapidly approching arrival at Pitcairn, this evening Skipper briefed us on what to expect at the island. He single handedly succeeded in raising the excitement on the boat to an unprecedented level. Those with the hot top bunks will not be the only to have trouble falling asleep tonight.
