Yesterday, we had an attempted tack
Yesterday, we had an attempted tack and ultimately a jibe. It was exhausting and hard. Our team leaders have a sore throat today from yelling the commands. It was a beautiful warm day and our youngest hardworking ordinary seaman was working hard up the mast in just a t-shirt. This morning I think was the best sunrise, it was beautiful as we saw the sun rising on the horizon and the colors cascaded across the sky. All in all, we have one more day to Madeira. We are learning a lot and always having fun!
