I think I found my sea-legs. I was beginning to worry that I'd forgotten to pack them!
Now that I'm not *arfing* everything within an hour of eating/drinking it's really quite pretty out here! It definitely makes me feel small, every direction you look there is ocean all the way to the horizon, it's pretty crazy too some of the swells are so big that for a second they stick up *past* the horizon!
Yesterday while I was on watch about 5 porpoises came by to check us out... I say about 5 because they are so quick they were hard to count. They were zipping back and forth in the bow wave, I mean if they were kids, they'd totally be the kids that played in traffic. It was amazing that they never ran into the boat or each other!
It's about 8am... and we're sitting at N 45.16.889 and W 128.06298 the Captain just let me have a fabulous 10 hour sleep, and other than being stiff all over I feel fantastic!
Glad to hear that you are doing so well. We are plotting your course, of course. Doing wheelies is a lot better than putting out drogues, take our word for it. Enjoy your sea legs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read your comments, Sam...and to know that you REALLY are out there on the water somewhere. Your mom will be relieved with the news as well, her being without an antenna and all....Keepin' an eye...Zoona

Everyone is following the progress. I'm monitoring WinLink as well and hoping to see VA7DGV appear on there someday!
