Night watch was pretty busy. I had first lookout which meant tht I got to watch the sky change from black
with a bright 3/4 moon aft to full liht with the Sun climbing up from the edge of the world.
We are still motoring NNE but we have set our lower topsails and fore topmast staysail a the wind has
picked up from the West as we crossed through the high pressure area. We should arrive in Bermuda
tomorrow sometime.
More later…
We set all sails this afternoon and sailed until nearly 8:00pm when we took in and stowed them again. This
was an interesting exercise in the dark to be sure. In some ways working aloft in the dark is easier because
you can’t see how far up you are. On the otherhand you cant see what you are trying to hang onto either.
We are back motoring and the Captain expects us to arrive in Bermuda in the morning.
I completed my sea bag this afternoon after a a marathon 3 hour stitching session. It came out pretty good
actually and will be a useful carry all for all the stuff for my little dinghy.
Thanks for reading.
