On December 16th, students continued with their academic studies and watches as we transitioned from Sao Nicolau towards Mindelo. After dinner, the ship anchored, and watches climbed the rigging to pack the sails. Upon conclusion of final evening class, the movie Master and Commander was shown in the mess. Students are eager to return to Mindelo to secure provisions for the Atlantic crossing, download books, and visit the beach in Sao Pedro for play in the waves. Soon, we will be off!
