Ship's Log:
Life on the Grace continues as usual. The very well-organized crib tournament is in full swing, pearl shell crafts are becoming a popular pastime and a talent show is planned for Saturday evening. Exciting newsflash - As I type, we are setting the mainsīl!
Now to yesterday: We passed over the equator, but without the ceremony of our initial crossing. Some swam over the īlineī while others simply glanced up from their books. Not long after, we raised the mainsīl, foresīl, jib and jumbo and cut the engines. Oh the beautiful silence! The day climaxed when Skipper brought out a treat - better than chocolate, more precious than gold, more perfect than a dolphin acrobatic display at sunset...COLD POP! Yup, this is one well run ship.
