This morning all is well, spotted several fin whales on dawn watch.
Position: 42,8.3N , 70,13.11W. Wx is overcast with improving
visibility. > 3 nm. Wind E force 1-2
24-hour plan: continue to sail over stellwaggen focusing on sail
handling and building student skills. Gamage has been sailing next to us
for a bit and there is a possibility of playing "follow the leader" as a
sailtraining exercise this afternoon.

A message from the students:
Life aboard the Spirit of South Carolina is sailing by! Already onto our
second day on the ship, we've experienced some heavy fog and spotted
multiple whales. All three watch groups have completed their first watch
shift by now, becoming familiar with the s
ailing terminology and their standing orders. We have spotted another
schooner, the Harvey Gammage and are in contact with its crew. Our first
night at sea was interrupted only by the periodic foghorn or the
occasional tack. We're having a blast so far on t
he Spirit and look forward to whatever adventure lies ahead!
