Water jumping crew
Monday, 12.09.
Early in the morning the moon is gone and it's really nice to watch the stars. There are also quite a lot of shooting stars. But you always have to be really quick if you also want to whish for something.
Once again it starts to dawn on the horizon, this time behind the mountians of the coastline. The whole night somebody was singing or playing I am a woman in love on Channel 16, the calling and emergency channel.
Around noon we are passing through really nice, clear blue, and shallow waters. The captain stops off the engine and we are having the nicest swim. It's so great to jump right off the ship into the water. And not only because we all didin't have a shower in two days in really hot weater. (Actually the skin feels sticky the whole time, no matter wether you had some water on your skin or not.)
But of course it's not enough just to take the chance to get ourselves clean but also the ship from the outside. Uwe gives out our last sponges (of course a clean ship is more important than clean dishes), red ones for the gilrs, blue ones for the boys. We are swimming around the ship like litte cleaning fishes and wiping off the dirt from Annas waterline. It really works well.
After continuing a turtle passes the ship. Really nice as well. And then we are going back to our usual routine: watch, eating, sleeping, watch, cooking, eating, sleeping.. (Guess what's next.)
