The weather has made a change for the cooler. We have clouds and temps in the low 60's. with a wind in the 30knts it is not conducive to go on deck, though we did attempt to see the ISS. The cloud deck prohibited same.
We have not seen the moon on our trip and wondered if it disappeared during our journey through the Bermuda Triangle. Google reports it rising at 9:35am and setting 9:35PM. when there was clear skies above i did not see it... daytime viewing isn't the best however. So we continue to live in the shadow of the triangle.
As i write this we are one day away from going ashore. I write the day after the titled seaday. Some of us, your author included, are getting a little tired of a featureless horizon.
Tonight we will pass through the Straights and to that end we hope to see land before sunset. I stand watch at 4:00pm GMT. Report at 11:00.

ReplyDeleteSounds like time to take your telescope and climb the rigging to the crows nest. Prepare to see land and be the first to yell, "land ho!" I thought you went through the straights a day ago. If you do pass the Canarie Islands say "Hello" to my Great Uncle Johnny. He was the Captain of a merchant vessel.Sadly he died there and was buried there. Never got back to Ireland. On that happy note...I have classes today.Got to do some planning. Talk with you soon. Better start looking for your land legs!
