Some pictures from our recent passage from Mauritius to South Africa:
 |
| On a quiet day at sea, Jennifer gave Geert a much-needed haircut |
 |
| Geert, the Watch Man, about to go on watch during one of the rougher, wetter parts of the trip |
 |
| We celebrated the birthday of Geert and Olina's daughter, Jana, at sea. Cake courtesy of Chef Jennifer! |
 |
| Keith created a marvelous dinner featuring a just-caught mahi-mahi. |
 |
| It's not all play; here, Geert and Keith are working on their homework :) |
 |
| Sharing a moment of laughter at the comic videos playing on our chartplotter (just kidding). |
 |
| Before GPS, this is how sailors determined their position. Harder than it looks to keep the sextant steady, even in smooth seas. |
 |
| Our logbook -- every time a watch ends, the departing watch enters in vital data on course, speed, and weather conditions. |
 |
| Approaching the coast of South Africa after 15 days at sea. |
 |
| A sea bird,, wings at full stop and talons dragging the water, scraping up scraps from the tuna feast |
 |
| Tuna leaping out of the water, part of a huge feeding school that stayed with us for hours and hours. |
 |
| A quiet sunset, with our dinghy davits framing the softly swirling wake of ile de Grace |
