Easter

A quiet day at sea. Still in the Indian Ocean headed to the island nation of Mauritius. No wildlife sightings. The sea is a bit more turbulent as we head into thunderstorms.

The ship celebrated Easter by placing chocolate Easter Bunnies in our staterooms, having an Easter Egg hunt and having an Easter service. Definitely low key.

Nautical term: Start Over With A Clean Slate. A slate tablet was kept near the helm to record speeds, distances, headings and tacks during the watch. If no problems occurred during the watch, the slate would be wiped clean so the new watch keeper could "start over with a clean slate."Weiterlesen
