Day 60
The water has changed from chocolate
color to sea green as we are now in the Atlantic and heading up the
NE coast of Brazil. We are far enough offshore there is no land in
sight with noting in view but the sea and sky. The seas are from out
starboard quarter and the ship is pitching slightly and sometimes
takes a slight roll. Whitecaps are plentiful enough to make my whale
watch more difficult.
