Location: Underway to the Cape Verde Islands
As the routine of underway life takes over, the days begin to blur together. Was today day 3 or day 4? of our passage to the Cape Verde Islands? They all seem so similar. Cereal during the morning watch, lunch at 12:00, followed by classes, deck showers, and finally ending with dinner at 18:00; wasn’t this yesterday? The routine was, however, momentarily broken as we shifted dinner below decks due to rain. However, it only lasted a few minutes, so we ended up skipping the before-dinner squeeze in order to watch teams feed before the 18:00 change. Also of interest, we hit the 3000-mile mark, indicating the total distance traveled from the beginning of our voyage 56 days ago. We made it past the halfway point to Cape Verdes today with only 3 or 4 days to go. Will tomorrow be today?
