So yesterday we started our new watches and I’m pretty satisfied with my group. Today I had to be J-WO again and it went very well. All I had to do was take the place of the 1st mate, Mr. Bailey. The job included plotting a position every hour, take bearings on ships, make sure the watch rotation was going along and lastly report back everything that happen in the last watch. I felt like I was running everything, like I was in charge. It went pretty smooth and I’m proud of my self. Another highlight came later that night. I was sleeping in my bunk when I was awaked by the loud banging of the foresheet. Next thing I know I heard voices yelling and saw a lot of rain! It looked like a squall so I hopped out of bed to try and get it on camera but I was to late it already calmed down. I spent the rest of the night trying to get the sound of the rain since I could hear it right over my bunk. It was an interesting day overall and right now we have 9 more days until we are at home.
