Location: Underway to Saint Helena
Dayyyy, 6ish I think, the passage starts out with watch team three (Emma, Perry, Alexa, Reed, and me) on 12-4 watch. It was great, we covered lots of important things like paw patrol and Portugal. The stars were also really pretty before the moon came up, and you couldnt see them anymore. Shoutout watch team two( Zoe, Kyler, Vittoria, Erin, and Hannah) for fixing our heads(bathrooms) while we were asleep. Apparently, it was quite the ordeal, lots of salt water everywhere. Fast forward to lunch time, Grant and Perry made a really great buffalo chicken bake and potatoes with cauliflower. Then we set back our watches by an hour cause we crossed a time zone. Before class, watch team three went out and flaked the jib really nicely. The jib is one of the sails above the net at the bow of Vela and flaking is folding it up as you take it down. Then we had Plate Tectonics taught by Perry and Leadership by Emma, which were both great lessons, only interrupted once by a fish, which we lost cause the fishing hooks were bad. We all spent the afternoon studying for our first test, which is tomorrow. Its the ICC, which will also be our first certificate for International Crew Competency. We needed a bag of Fruit Loops to keep us going, but overall it was pretty successful. Dinner was lasagna, beautifully prepared by our chefs. My squeeze question of the day was what would you pick out of Books, Music, Movies, or Shows, and we got a majority vote for music, I would say. Watch team three is ending the day the same way as we started, with a watch from 8-12, its gonna be great! Hoping all is well back home:) love lots Nashota
