Captain 2b Jiva here from the Chesapeake bay near Sassafras river. I am trying on new call names for myself as captain- what do you think of this one?

We are motoring there to anchor for the evening after 9 hours of wonderful sailing up the Delaware bay. del river and the C& D canal. That would not be channel #5 please note.

However, this morning around 2 Am I started shifting in my sleep ultimately taking the alwathships position. Sensitive to change as I am I did not realize that I was changing my position for we were at a 45 degree angle- b/c we had hit bottom. Did I think to wake the captain or crew. but no !! I just kept on sleeping- Captain called me nimrod for a second time in two days. Well deserved. We waiting until 8 am to float again and off we were with dolphins at our side for 3 hours north.
I ask you where is 0 on the compass? then again where is 360? Due north? After that discussion captain asked the rhetorical question: Did HE really sign up for this?
We sailed 9 hours today in variable conditions. Excellent technical experience. We are laughing a lot and enjoying the difference between us. Alejhandro translates for the captain and myself, even though English is his second language. I think you get the picture.

Tacking and jibbing and navigation rules the day. I ask a lot of questions. Sometimes the captain asks Alejandro to answer- It takes a while to get used to constant cross examination. I can't help myself. My new nick name is Shirley!

Alexander mommy loves you are you ever going to post a comment Zander pants??
