Making good speed

Rain was pouring down and the night watches had already been in their rain gear for a while, ready to come inside and get some sleep. Despite the gloomy look outside, most sails were up and we were making good speed. With the rain gear on and the grey cloud cover above, we could be mistaken for being somewhere else than the tropics today. But taking a closer look at the deep blue ocean colour, we were quickly back to the tropics. We kept the spirits up and continued our sail training and remembering the names of the sails and the location of the clues and bunts.
