Day...: At Sea

Hello,

Wow does it feel great to be back at sea! There is definitely something about being rocked to sleep and confined to the ship that I like. Today was business as usual, started off in the morning with some class and then headed outside in the afternoon to do mooring line scenarios. The weather today was amazing the water temp matched the air temp at right around 75 degrees! With a light wind and high humidity that crystal blue water looked very nice and I wanted to jump in badly. We passed many islands today, one of them was a volcano that was active and putting out some smoke so that was really cool to see. I got back into the gym today and felt really good after, however I ruined it with Pizza dinner which was very good yet carbo load...its kinda bummer but the only choice we have. Tomorrow is our last class day and then we switch to day work. Japan on Friday! I have been reading the travel guides available in order to prepare some kind of plan when we get to shore. Did some work on the sea bag and I may have to redo some stitches and my hands are raw already :(
