Noon Position: (Lat and Long): 40 degrees 16.51’ N, 068 degrees 40.0’ W
Log (nm): 208.1 nm
Weather / Wind / Sail Plan (from 1300 Watch Change): Today was sunny and clear with easy sailing and a gentle breeze. We continue to sail along the continental shelf and have been heading pretty much straight east.
Description of Location: Continental Shelf
B watch’s day started at 1 am for dawn watch and there were a bunch of whales and dolphins. For the night watch, multiple whales had been swimming with the boat, however, it was too dark to see them so their presence was only indicated by their blowing and breathing. Today we learned about knots and we all failed basically… Wish us night watchers luck!
Hi Tio Dan Dan and Slade!! I miss you both so much and I can’t wait to see you when I get home! Days have been long on the boat… I even got seasick… But I am doing much better now AND have adjusted and having lots and lots of fun and making a bunch of new friends! My sleep schedule is so crazy now and I can’t wait to take a fat nap when I get home on FRIDAY!! I hope things are going good at home and that you are having fun but not TOOOO much fun lol! I love you lots and lots – Silvana<3
Hiiii fam we have I think 6 days left and I am sooo excited to see the dogs lie in my bed and have a fat matcha. I miss Spotify and I have had the worst most random songs stuck in my head which is the worst and I also miss ice cream and you guys and I’m excited to see Jasper and Olivia 🙂 love Clio
Hi mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa! I made a lot of new friends and sailing has been really fun, we had 6 sails up for a while today and it was really cool. It’s really different from the small boats. I saw dolphins and whales at 6 in the morning when I was on look out and I finally saw shooting stars during dawn watch. The sky was really pretty with no light pollutions! Also hi Chase! I’m really excited to visit – Jenny
To whom it may concern…. (heh so mysterious). Mama I frew up. It was a bad day for me on day 2 of sailing :(. I really wanted to go home and I still want to go home but not really. Its kinda sad I only have 5 days left. I do wanna play rivals and doom scroll tho. Tell Teresita and Leilani that tio Josue is super cool because I’m on a boat at sea. I miss playing with my friends and being on my pc for 6 hours a day ;(. – Josue Mercado
B-Watch: Silvana, Clio, Josue, Jenny, Katherine, Jayden, Lucas, Samantha
