Our first day out sea! The morning started off at 7:30 for breakfast and then at 8 o'clock all of the students and Concordia crew have to meet on the bow for colors, raising of flags and daily announcements.
The course we are on is 310(HDG), 5(C), 315(COG) and our speed is 7,6. The sails were not out yet, the engine was running at 1550/5. Wind direction 55W and the temp 17 degree.
After colors team S.A members were all feeling sea-sick especially Marx and me. But through it all we did sail maneuvering which was actually a bit grueling. Setting up the main sails, fore sail, ,main sail and the other s
ails I do not yet know the names of but I will certainly do in due time.By now we were still feeling sea-sick and we spent most of the day sleeping on deck and throwing up.
During the late afternoon Felix and me were on navigation watch, the first mate allowed us to take control of the helm which was very awesome! We had another class after nav watch on deck where all of us discussed our journals and how each one of us are feeling.
And the day concluded with dinner and night watch.
