We’re back out to sea again, on the choppy waters of the
Atlantic. We’ve been taking some slow rolls this morning, but everyone seems to
be feeling just fine as we make our way up the Portuguese coast.
Yesterday was spent “bunkering” (taking on fuel) just off
the shore in Gibraltar. Our surroundings were dotted with small castles,
seaside cliffs and a fluttering British flag atop a nearby hill. Many ships
were in the bay where the weather was breezy and perfect for spending a few
hours up on deck.
Classes seem to be going well and everyone has been
hitting the books in the evenings. There are also plenty of foosball tournaments
and lots of talk about what to do in our free time in Dublin! Many among us
will be heading home from this next port, but those staying for the full 90
days will have nearly six days to explore the city.
Look out for more updates before our scheduled arrival!
