Today we left bermuda for our second atlantic crossing and got ready for 16 days at sea. We all said goodbye to wi-fi and some of the students have already eaten half the snacks they bought. Some students learned about celestial sailing and learned how to use the sextant. We also had classes today with a new rotation to adjust to. Another great day on the Alex-2!
