Today was our third day at sea. Most of us have recovered from our seasickness except for Marx who was still feeling very sick. The day started out very cloudy and cold but by midday the cloud had disappeared and the sun made a brief appearance.
We started the day as we normally do with breakfast followed by colours and then the South African crew had an hour of class after which we all went either to our separate watches or free time.
Gustav climbed on the bow sprit for the first time today to douse the outer jib. We had pizza for lunch which was received with great enthusiasm from all the students.
Tonight we saw the most amazing thing; dolphins swimming with us and playing around the bow. It was amazing and indescribably beautiful to see these majestic creatures swimming along with us and surfing the bow wave without loosing pace with the boat. We all ran out and just watched them paying in the water, not wanting to move away and completely in awe of these amazing creatures. We are all unbelievably lucky to live in a place where you can start your homework, run outside to watch dolphins swimming alongside you, then go back inside to complete your homework.
