February the fifth was a pretty typical day on the Alex – as mundane as life gets when you live and work on a tallship. It was our first day of class since having left the DR, so all the students and faculty settled back into the schooling portion of this program. I was personally on backshaft all day, so I was excused from watch in order to fulfil this duty along with the other designated students. All in all, it was smooth sailing and the day was concluded by a beautiful sunset.
