Location: Underway to Mauritius
Today was exam day!! Everyone has been under a lot of stress preparing for the last major academic task of our passage to Mauritius. We’ve all had an amazing time on passage, From Halloween parties to good hilarious talks on watch and working as a team to sail Vela, and nothing has brought us closer. It’s crazy and bittersweet to think it’s already day 50! It feels like we’ve all known each other forever, and none of us can wait to see what’s next, although I think we would all give everything to go back in time and do it all again. Mauritius is just over the horizon, and it feels like a major milestone for all of us. This passage, in particular, has been spectacular, seeing the beauty the open ocean has to offer and the deep friendships that are being built. I don’t think any of us can wait to see what Mauritius is like and put our feet in the sand again, but we are all just as equally excited for our next passage to South Africa!
Also, hi, Stephanie’s mom!
And hi to everyone at home! Missing you all, and can’t wait to be able to show you the wild adventure we’ve been on.
