On the last day in Praia, the floaties were out and about
Some stayed aboard to relax and chill, others went hunting for WIFI and food.
Collage applications were being written and family and friends were being called.
The morning was busy, nice, and cool
But as day reached 1pm, it was hot like fuel.
On the beaches, people snorkeled and tanned. Oh how I miss the really hot sand.
At 2pm,we all filed back aboard
And classes started at 2:05, sharp as a sword.
The lucky floaties that did not have to study
Showed off their snack hulls and hid their secret Santa goodies.
Lines were uncasted and coiled up
In prep for our next island hop.
The evening was calm as many were tired
So the day was wrapped up with a jolly movie (Christmas with the Cranks).
We are all excited to go back to Mindelo
All in preparation for the long
crossing that will hopefully be mellow.
