Yesterday was an important day. It was International Women’s Day. We took a moment to reflect and write about the women who inspire us daily. I wrote about my mum, she’s so awesome. The day was smooth; there were no rough waves. Watch 5, at about 11 am, managed to find a floating volleyball, which, funny enough, turned out to be a Wilson, a real castaway! We learned that the volleyball’s owner’s name is Logan, with his phone number written on it, so maybe we’ll meet Logan along our journey. It was definitely worth the effort to salvage it and showed us the importance of lookout. The Assassin game lives on. Sadly, I died, I got given a notebook in the Mess, and I’m out. Everyone is looking forward to Dolphin Day, a little break in our journey to catch up on sleep and homework.
