Happy Birthday to Celina! It can be hard having a birthday on a ship far from home, especially when you are used to celebrating with your twin sister. Knowing this, we made sure that Celina felt constant birthday love. Lizzie made her delicious German pancakes for breakfast, everyone gave her big hugs, and during class she received props, cards, and gifts including her beloved red hot Cheetos and a Next Top Model tee shirt. We then went on deck for spa treatments of face masks and pedicures. Everyone left feeling like princesses. Every day at 1700, all hand meet for daily status reports on navigation, weather, and engineering. During reports today we sang to Celina and gave her a card from everyone on board. For dinner we got to eat the tuna and mahi mahi we have caught, and for night watch snacks Lizzie is going to do her best to fulfill Celina’s request for cheesecake with cheesecake swirled brownies. Overall, not a bad way to enter your 17th year!
We are also having beautiful sailing. The wind is strong and consistent, and as we enter the Gulf Stream, we’ll be on a Starboard tack until Fernandina beach (which means easy sleeping for those on the Port side…) Spirits are high and there is much laughter around the boat. Briana just came below to grab her sweatshirt, winter hat, and scarf and announced to everyone in the main salon that we are going 10.5 knots. At this rate we’ll be in Fernandina Beach right on schedule. I’m off to catch the sunset.
