WE COULD SEE DOLPHINS WHILE ALOFT THIS MORNING AND THAT MAKES THE DAY THAT MUCH MORE JOYOUS! IN THE PAST 24-HOURS, WE HAVE HAD WINDS STRONG ENOUGH THAT WE COULD SAIL AT 8 KNOTS WITH ONLY THREE SAILS, HELPING US GET TO HORTA AS PLANNED. THE CLASS AFLOAT TEAM HAD A BREAK YESTERDAY WITH NO CLASSES, A LATE COLOURS, AND FACULTY ON BREAKFAST BACKSHAFTE. THANKS FOR TEACHER RAFAEL FOR INTRODUCING US TO HORTA AND AZOREAN CULTURE, AND MAYA & SASHA FOR HELPING US UNDERSTAND THE INVASION OF UKRAINE. BEING UNAWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD, WHILE WE ARE AT SEA, IS A STRANGE FEELING. MORE FROM WATCH THREE TOMORROW!
