Location: Underway
As we cross into day 3 of our passage to Cape Verdes, we mark the projected halfway point of this current passage, and I must say time is flying! In comparison to our last lengthy passage (Gibraltar to Safi), this has been a pleasure. With downwind sailing just the way I like it, mellow seas, and a positive atmosphere onboard, these miles just melt away. We no longer look to the ETA. Rather, we look to the horizon for a beautiful sunset and sunrise every evening and morning, each more captivating than the last. Photographic proof does no justice. It would appear as though our crew is settling into passage life just fine. Classes are running smoothly, although we all bite our nails at the thought of our fast-approaching mid-term exams. Still, we press on, happy as can be. With no seasickness to report thus far underway, I think it’s safe to say we are all having the time of our lives out in the middle of nowhere.
Shout out to my people.
