Well we survived our day on Galley.

Our objective was to have simple, plentiful and timely food today and we achieved it with clockwork precision, thanks to Bruce and Rich for keeping things rolling. Having a plan worked wnoders and giving ourselves a little extra time in the morning meant we weren’t starting behind the eight ball.
Sundays at sea are pretty relaxed with no shipwork. This means that if you aren’t actively doing anything while on watch you can work on projects read or just hangout.
We also had a workshop on opening and eating coconuts followed by a “Farewell to Africa Marlinspike” so everybody was dressed up in all their Arabic and African finery.
We reset the repaired topmast stunsl so we now have all three drawing although the wind has dropped and we are only making 3 knots. We are at 3 Deg N so we will hit the doldrums anytime.
I expect we will be visited by King Neptune and his cohorts within the next couple of days so stay tuned!
It’s back to work for me at 4:00am so I’m off to hit the rack.
Thanks for reading.
