Remarks: Seaman Sunday marks the last day of 2023. Spring and the newbies take noon sights. Galley hands look after cooking as Donald needs a day off too. Need to work on “making enough” they do. Sometimes the galley crew get very creative and inventive. Sometimes. Rolling along at 6-7 knots in larger seas than yesterday. But all is good.
