Atlantic Crossing: Day 7

A change in the weather today!

Overcast and drizzly … a bit of humidity … warm. But the lack of sunshine made it possible for me to sit on the veranda for most of the day. Oosterdam went through a rain squall or two, but it wasn’t an issue on the protected veranda

The light became brighter around 11:00a. The sun tried to break through, but the cloud cover won the battle. By mid-afternoon, however, the situation was reversed and the sun was out. But our heading was such that, the sun didn’t quite make it onto the veranda.

Between his art ventures today, Mui began packing. We’re testing out a new way of packing, which we hope will make accessing clothes while on the road in Australia easier.

Mui’s Guided Painting on Canvas Session this afternoon — the theme was “looking down on a beach from the top of a cliff” — went a bit long. Nonetheless, we had our wine on the veranda before having dinner at the Lido Market tonight.
