For the next month or so I am the chief officer on board which means that, when we are at sea I take the 4 to 8 watch. This is brilliant for me because I get to see every sun set and every sun rise. Today the picture of the moon and the sun rise were taken at the same time. The stunning beauty of the open ocean gives us time to appreciate the things that you don't get chance to see at home in the city.
This morning, those ashore suggested a new destination for us and as is often the way we have made a 90 degree course change right in the middle of the ocean and have begun to sail East. The Ocean passages book might make some sense to us now.
