Hello, My Dears! I give you greetings from the Bermuda Triangle. Yes, that's right; we are in that place of mythical and supernatural belief, where many ships and planes have just gone off the map—lost for all time. But thus far I have not seen anything that would suggest that UFOs or any other strange phenomenon really exists here and I'm glad to be honest with you, My Dears, I would rather get to Charleston in one piece.

OK, so just before we had class and Logan (our chief mate, in case you never knew or just forgot) gave a wonderful and very informative presentation on navigation lights, their meanings and how to avoid colliding with other ships. It was all very fascinating though a little much to take in at once but nevertheless it is good to know. Well, it's a must to know unless you plan on being on the bottom of the ocean.

Oh, one thing that I am not too fond on, even if it is a good thing, is our amazingly good speed these past couple of days. It started when we left St. Thomas. Yesterday, we picked up a lot of speed, reaching 9 knots for a little while. And, as you know, Amistad has the habit or more of a need to lean on its side that makes handling dishes, standing, even sleeping all the more fun. But even today we are cruising along at 6 knots and with any luck this speed will keep up and we may reach our destination a little early.

With that I thank you for reading today's Blog, 'Til next time, My Dears. TATA
