5/27
We’ve changed our course en route to Gibraltar as there
seems to be a storm or two worth avoiding. We’ll miss the Azores but it should
be smooth sailing as we cruise past Spain and Morocco in just a few days’ time.
At the moment, there is nothing but blue waters and the occasional sailboat
sighting!
Everybody has been very busy with coursework for their
classes, which are focused on building a solid understanding of the daily
operations aboard the ship. Throughout the day, students study subjects such as
navigation, rules of the nautical road, and engineering – all of which require
hitting the books in the evening. I see them study so I know how hard they are
working, taking the occasional break to play Battleship or Chess.
The weather has been blustery but comfortable, so long as
you’re wearing coveralls or a light jacket on deck. I'll be in touch soon with
more info as we head towards the strait!
