Yesterday we had a dolphin day, which means that we didn’t have any classes. It’s a day to rest before we have a watch and chore rotation. My watch changed from 2-4 to 12-2. Most people used their time on dolphin day to rest, get some sleep and socialize. It was also the day of the OS exams, so a bunch of other students took it today. On watch, Ayel and I climbed most of the watch to ease some ropes on the lower sails, and then we coiled ropes at the end. On Nightwatch, most of the watch was sick, so we were only 4 people on watch, but there wasn’t really any work to do, so it worked well.
