Day’s Run – April 10, 2018

By Cara Lauzon

We had smooth yet chilly and foggy departure from Galveston yesterday, we left early just as the sun was rising. There was a magical moment when the monomoy, the double ended boat we use for rowing practice, came out of the mist making her way back to the ship to be hoisted. We woke to a chilly morning, new hands are acclimating to the conditions, at the same time learning knots and settling into their watches.
