Sunday at sea. More squalls, alternating beautiful sunshine and heavy, soaked-to-the-underwear showers. Amy and Turi organised a games afternoon in the salon before supper with popcorn – pictionary, backgammon and a very silly pirate card game were the most popular.
SHIPS WORK: No ship’s work today, but lots of sail handling and bracing for the watch on deck and anyone else passing by at the right moment. Doctor Charlotte and Anne-Mette were our cooks for the day, making a tasty
Mexican themed supper.
