I recommend it. "Sea life is quite amusing." Yes? How so? I did not see any impala. We needed lots of people to be on watch at the same time, because it is hard to do many things at once, and there were many things to be done on watch. However, there was only ever one person on lookout at night. I got sort of bored sometimes, but I looked for constellations and stuff, and every time you saw a new light you went back and told the mate, and it was only for an hour. Yah, very peaceful. And there were the glowing fish.Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07847331467246659997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15685776.post-1126639749837309672005-09-13T15:29:00.000-04:002005-09-13T15:29:00.000-04:00Everything sounds quite amazing. I always thought it would be kind of fun to spend a week or so on a big ship in the middle of the ocean (or the side of the ocean, or whatever...). Sea life is quite amusing. Being "on watch" kind of reminds me of what we did in South Africa when we were on our safaris: we would stare out of the vehicle windows for hours, scanning the landscape to try and spot anything more interesting than herds of impala. Hopefully you were always on watch <I>with</I> someone, because it can get rather boring and lonely if you're staring into cast expanses of nothingness by yourself. Then again, it can also be quite peaceful...Rebeccahttp://www.gutwin.org/beccanoreply@blogger.com
