The day began with the Ocean Star and its magnificent crew starting at the west end of Tortola. We then hoisted anchor and set sail for St.Kitts (St.Christopher), which is roughly about a one-day passage. Nothing too eventful occurred, with no casualties or vomiting, which was a pleasant thing for everyone aboard. Passage life takes a little getting used to since each watch team has a three-hour watch and then a six-hour rest period, so you don’t get shut-eye very much. We were fortunate enough to have calm weather for the passage, so everything went relatively smoothly. In my opinion, the best part of passage life is being on watch at night and being able to see the stars very clearly. I find that passage life is very simple, and though it is enjoyable, it is also extremely tiring.
