Of Special Interest:
• The rising full moon last night was an divine sight and lit up the ocean with spectacular sparkles
• Shelagh, Alan’s wife is making her way to Antigua today—hope she doesn’t have to wait too long for us…
• I made a chocolate cake during my early morning watch as a surprise for Patrice and Alan and hid it on the top shelf of the bookcase. This afternoon, one particularly large swell tipped us over so far the cake went flying through the main cabin—a surprise indeed!
‘Delight of the Day:’ Alan for taking over some of my kitchen duties, giving a bread-making lesson and repairing an errant shackle
