Today was yet another day out at sea. The girls are in the middle of Command Week and they're doing great. It's awesome to see them put together all of the things they've learned during the first five weeks. To hear them calling sail, tacks and keeping the boat running with very little help from the crew makes me proud. It's nice to hear their voices yelling out commands with confidence.
One of the challenges the girls have been working on throughout the voyage is Schooner Olympics. In their watch groups they compete in different physical and intellectual challenges. This week they have been working on predicting where the ship will be the following day at noon. So far B Watch (Viki, Cathy, Celina and Ann) was 195 nautical miles (nm) off the actual position and C Watch was 19 nm off. We'll find out today how A Watch did. Other Schooner Olympic events to come may include Immersion Suit Relay and Put as Many Clothes on a Watchmember in 3 minutes. We'll be sure to keep you posted on the final score.
The other exciting event of the day was catching a Mahi Mahi. It was a little guy, but he joined the yellowfin tuna in the fridge to be eaten for dinner at a later date.
See you in a week!
