So Samuel and I discovered I-Tunes on these computers the other night and we haven't gotten much sleep since. Thank you to whoever put these great jams on here.
    The speed of everything has increased on Amistad, our knots as well as the pace of life on the ship. We are averaging around 7-8 knots now, which feels pretty quick in the middle of the ocean.
    C watch has gotten bowls and soles down to pre 5 am, which makes the rest of the 3-7 a.m. watch smooth. "If you can't get out of it, get into it."  Last night we had a barrage of flying fish land on deck, I tried to save any that I could.
    We had our first catch yesterday, a beautiful green and blue mahi mahi. I was stuck on the helm, so I guess I'll have to give credit to Samuel, who reeled her in.
    Anyways I've decided that this blogging thing is tough and that maybe if I wait a couple days in between writings I will have better material.
