Location: Underway
Throughout the night, the crew continued the game of “Assassin,” which had started the previous day during the pep rally. Everyone had another member of the crew to whom they had to secretly say a key phrase to eliminate that player and move on to the next person. This kept most of the crew on edge, and they did not want to go places alone on the boat, as they were nervous their “assassin” would follow them.
As the crew awoke this morning to bright sunshine and the smell of fresh-baked bread in the galley, the last-minute studying for the night PSCT colregs exam began. While many of the PSCT students were quizzing each other over rules and lights, Argo kept making their way toward Dominica. The chefs made a great chicken salad with fresh Argo bread. After the cleanup, there were no classes, so the crew took some time to themselves, choosing to study, take a quick nap, or even watch part of a movie to relax before the exam. With the hot sun, the students were extremely eager to take deck showers in the warm water. Watch teams continued throughout the day, as did “Assassin,” with George finally taking out Emily for the win! After dinner, all of the PSCT students gathered to take their exam, which was a huge relief as they began studying for the next one in a couple of days. As watch team three takes the deck, we are currently sailing on a broad reach, making 7 knots, so we will all be gently rocked to sleep.
