Transit thus far, for the new crew, has been a torrential downpour of information. It reminds me of Spanish 3 in high school...which I dropped. But in this, we are determined to persevere! All teachers have been patient and happily willing to repeat rigging and knot tying ad nauseum.

We've had the good fortune to truly sail for stretches at a time with occasional visits from spotted dolphins. Today we will set adrift our messages in a bottle. This excites the child in me who hopes some young kid on a far away shore will discover it and let us know.
