Day 22 9th Nov
The first 24 hours back at sea have been welcomed with everyone happy to be back in the routine of life aboard. Yesterday afternoon I went aloft and climbed to the very top of the mast. Loved it! A little scary with the ship rolling, but awesome views of Gran Canaria as we departed. Last night was extremely clear and we had an amazing sky of stars including sight of Jupiter. We also caught glimpses of about 10 shooting stars! Woken up to a beautiful, sunny, calm day at sea. Most sails are set and we are currently doing 5 knots. Everyone is relaxed this afternoon and soaking in the rays, happy knowing that there is more of the same ahead of us. Natalie – Aft Port Watch.
