Remarks: Beautiful, calm, sunny day. Had a man overboard discussion followed by a drill, then an open ocean swim call, and later a marlinspike to celebrate the halfway point between Galapagos and Pitcairn Island. Had a mother sei whale (we think) and her calf circle the ship a few times to check us out, before carrying on their merry way. All in all a wonderful Sunday at sea.
