Sailing

We're sailing in the Atlantic! Our current location is apx 23.4N and 18.3W - just off the coast of the Western Sahara. The sail has been a lot of fun so far. I was feeling a little seasick at first (I'm not taking any medicine), but I soon developed my "sea legs." This means I have learned to constantly shift my weight, overcorrect my steps so I don't weave down the halls, run when the ship is rolling down and brace myself when the ship is rolling up. Our captain told us that a good way to prevent seasickness is to keep a full stomach. I have really embraced this advice and have taken to eating Pringles all day long.

Here are some pictures of our sail:
