Its Day 5,unday and we are getting into the routine of watch rotations. Last night my watch had the 8 pm to 12:30 am watch which allowed us to witness a wonderful full moon rising from the stern. It was hugh and blood red. This was followed 2 hours later by a wonderful sunset with a pallet of mauve running to pink clouds just above the horizon and a red orange sun filling an open slot just between the sea and the clouds. Red sky at night, sailor's delight has provided to be correct as we now have mostly blue skies, fair southeast winds and fairly smooth season. Nellie is rolling along at about 7 knots under sail.
Earlier this morning we took part in a funeral service for the father of a well loved and strong supporter of JTS by heaving to just off Scarborough while a boat came out to spread his ashes.
Following that, as it is Sunday, the Captain, held an optional service on the fordeck.
Now its off to lunch and then a 4 hour watch.
