It has been a week since we left Ascension and it also just feels like a week.

Some days are longer and others flow by as, as something very strange when you are in swedish watch because you just go with the flow and your routine fits in a cycle of 2 days; in which you go 5 times to bed, and are woken up also 5 times, have 6 meals, 3 night snacks, 5 official coffee breaks on your watches, 2 out of your watch, and i will not tell you how many unofficial i have otherwise you will think constantly live in a coffee break…, and last but not least 2 beer times!

It keeps you busy. And in between, you sleep, work, make voyage plannings, chart and book corrections, drills, safety checks on equipment, sail manoeuvers, assist with the network and digital equipment onboard for those who have problems connecting to the network, finding their usb, printing…., and if you have time you take some a bit for yourself…. and reading 2 pages of a book before falling asleep has been a huge challenge lately!

But the sun is out-the tropical heat as well- and I have been looking forward to meeting Neptune and his court again… 😉
