The clocks having gone back again, and the ship's motion being different, I awoke to see dawn from my window. I got up early enough to do my walk before breakfast, so the deck was unencumbered by paint, but I spent a lot of it thinking "I wish I'd had a coffee, first."
The rest of the day was just spent floating aimlessly and reading. There are a surprising number of insects, including dragon flies, although we are well out of sight of land. A frigate went past mid-afternoon, but nobody we knew.
