Beautiful sunset last night, becoming the first sunny day of the passage. Now that the sun is out and conditions are calming down, the Chief Mate is making sure lots of teaching is happening, helping the new hands learn lines. The wind was in our favour for a little while today so we were able to set all the topsails, giving people a chance to work on their line handling. Now everyone including the ship’s cat Fiji is enjoying lunch and a sunny afternoon.
