Day at sea

It's restful getting a full day at sea. Got the sails up, engine off.
Making decent time. Earlier passed Vatnajökull - the largest ice
cap in Europe, and the third largest in the world (behind Greenland and
Antarctica).

The deckhands are spending the morning cleaning the hold, maintenance
climbing gear, and painting and greasing shackles. Erika's at her
computer, of course. Willie is on the bridge deck with a French
journalist looking for whales. Amanda is cooking (as she does seven
days a week). Hans, the radio operator, puttering around the radio room,
doing paper work and working on little projects. I'm looking at photos
from the trip so far, and thinking about posting a slideshow.
