Remarks: Seas and wind lay down overnight making for a wonderful Sunday at sea. Bright blue sky, very light winds, big ol’ South Pacific swell coming in from some disturbance in the Roaring Forties maybe. It’s Sunday so the crew work on personal projects, Leo works on his ditty bag, Jeremie, Toad, and George work in the galley making meals. Alex stitches his pants. Lisa and Julian reading on the hatch. Dawson running around looking for a partner to play “hide and seek.” A longer discussion of the upcoming Pitcairn visit this afternoon. Weather looks okay for the next few days so, fingers crossed for a nice time.
