Yesterday marked our 6th day at sea, however it feels like it’s been soooo much longer. We are currently waiting for a storm to come, however, so far it’s been mostly a very rocky ship and on and off rain showers. Sleep is not coming easily as the ship rolls back and forth but the waves are amazing. Classes have been proceeding as usual but we’ve got a day off coming soon, with an epic Mario Kart Tournament planned and a Celestial Navigation workshop.
News for today: a group of students spent 3 hours furling the besanstagsegal.
