Day 31

3 October, 2003

Gentle rain as we pass a front. Swells from NW behind us, not as hard as hitting them, instead they surprisingly lift us from the rear, but still very large creating some strange vistas when I look up from my computer. Captain has flattened out the top of the great circle route to avoid some weather. As the day progresses the sea gets larger and larger. It is German reunification day, a holiday in Germany. Although the chef made a horrible chocolate cake (what I had here-to-fore thought was impossible) all the German crew had the same “who gives a damn” silent dinner. Clocks go ahead an hour. All hell breaks loose.
