“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

3 Days til Spain!!!

Things are still going good on the MV Explorer. Although I have no concept of days anymore-I live according to A and B days. And they all seem to run together. It seems like I have been on this ship for about 3 weeks and I have only been here for 5 days-not that I'm complaining at all. I feel like once we start getting into ports, it will start to go faster because we wont want to leave the different countries.
We got to see our first sight of land this morning-Santa Maria island in the Azores :) It was so exciting because I haven't seen land in about days-since we left Halifax.
We spent the afternoon outside doing homework. It wasn't too sunny but it was still nice out. Oh and I finally got to see the dolphins!!! I have been waiting to see dolphins and whales since I got on this boat and yesturday around 3pm there about 20 of them (and I'm not even exaggerating)! They were swimming around and jumping out of the water. It was awesome.
The food is definitely getting old. The six of us seem to be living off of rolls, bananas, and water. It looks like on this voyage I will be a vegetarian (the meat is questionable). Crackers and peanut butter will become my new best friend.
Mackenzie and I have become work out buddies. We have been working out every night and hopefully we can keep it up. It's been a lot of fun having someone to work out with. If I don't really want to go she's right there to say we're going and thats that. hahaha
Sorry if this is kind of a boring post..i'm sure they will get better once we start getting to the countries.
SPAIN IN 3 DAYSSS!! <3
