Day’s Run – March 29, 2018

By Cara Lauzon

Beautiful sunset and night yesterday, as Captain Sikkema put it, “The ship sped along on silver seas under an almost full moon.” This morning and afternoon lots of rigging and painting going on. The galley house is starting to look really good with a fresh coat of paint and the work that the carpenter did. The 12-4 watch is working on bending on the flying jib to speed us along to our destination.
