The sea has been calm. Lying in bed at night is a bit like being rocked in a cradle! Since the hospital is closed I am now working in the galley, preparing food for the meals to be served for 300 of us still on board the ship. Mostly I am chopping, cutting and slicing anything you can possibly imagine would need to be made into smaller pieces. It is quite strenuous to be on your feet for hours at a time but we have great fun listening to music and singing. During the sail we are privileged to work every other day so on our days off we can sit on the bow and watch for dolphins and whales or read. I love the sea. It is fun to track our progress up the coast of Africa on a marine tracking app that shows where we are. At the moment we are parallel to Cape Verde and we have passed Dakar. I am in a part of the world I never dreamed I would see. Once we arrive in the Canaries we will work our regular schedule in the galley of 2 days on, 2 days off then every other weekend of 3 days on or off. I am hoping to get some sightseeing in of the wonders of the Canaries. We spend 3 weeks in Grand Canaria and then move to Tenerife. There are 7 islands there and we will see 2 of them for certain. Life is oh so good!
