9th of June 2009 - Bryan
Course: 010°
Speed: 8.8knots
Wind direction: 4/ESE
Temperature: 26°C
Lat: 26°27.8N
Long: 65°51.79W
Today was another usual day aboard the ship, only now, so close to the end of our voyage, many of us are thinking of the excitement of going home and the sadness of leaving CAF.
The sea was a gem-like blue today, the sun shining and the music was playing. The South Africans had class as usual while the rest of the students had the oral exams... SO glad we don't have to do our exams! In our free time, either we socialized, slept or helped out on deck to get everything ready for our much anticipated arrival in Bermuda.
Helping involved 'rust busting', grinding and priming, while I was allowed to go aloft and tie wire around all the shackles that didn't have any on. It was a great job, but I'm sure if my mom saw, she wouldn't approve of the precarious positions and the ways in which I was held up either by just a hand or just dangling attached to a piece of rope...it was great! And even better was that it gave me a workout at the same time!
Other than that, it was an ordinary day, but in the evening, the Design class presented their portfolios; which were basically their impressions, memories and what they got out of CAF.

Some were funny, some more serious and moving, but all was incredible! A lot of us were crying by the end, but they were definitely worth watching.
So it was an awesome day and everyone is making the most of their last few fleeting days. I only wish this trip was longer, even though I am excited to get back home...
