Once again the day came in overcast and then cleared up by midday. My guess is that has something do with a sea/air differential. Sunday at sea today. Also our first full day in the tropics in some time. New daymen have been stuck out to sailmaking, rigging and carpentry. Carpentry is concerned with making a new royal yard and sundry deck projects here and there. Dirk started a new celestial navigation class. Two mahi-mahi were hauled over the rail this morning. I saw Johnny cleaning them at the break of the deck. He needed a sharper knife. Yards are squared and the spanker is brailed in. And a happy St Patrick’s Day.
