Coming Full Circle

This voyage is coming to a  close SO fast! The days have been flying by recently!  Today we got back to spain (kinda sorta)! We had to repass through the Straight of Gibraltar this afternoon. which means we have made the full circle of the Mediterranean Sea! So we actually didnt just pass through the straight today we were anchored there for most of the day to bunker.  If you don’t know what that is don’t feel out of the loop because they kept saying it for days prior but never explained it.  it means that we had another boat come up alongside of us today and refuel us.  In other words we got our last round of gas today before heading back to the US!!! That’s so weird!!

Pretty low key day yet very nice at the same time.  Classes like usual, crappy lunch like usual, then I laid outside reading for about an hour came inside read some more and was able to finish book number 2 for the voyage!! How impressive for me! Im on a role! Im going to try to read kristis last book before we get back too! =)  after I finished reading I took a nap and woke up just in time for dinner!

Tonight was my last full family dinner! One of my moms, Deb, is leaving in Morocco.  Amy my other mom is one of the professors.  But deb is going to visit family in Germany and then has to get back to work.  So tonight we had a pizza night!! And thank goodness because I saw tonights ship dinner and it was grosssssss. So they ordered us pizza and pop and it was yummy =) then we took family tours of the different cabins. We got to go check out deb and amy’s room with big bed, couch, fancy bathroom with tub and a balcony! Then we checked out one of the economy cabins….. thank god I wasn’t in one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was literally a set of bunk beds and that’s it.. and no room at all it was sooooo small!!!  Then I showed them all my 3 person, and then the family night was over..

I spent the remainder of my night updating my external hard drive, going to preport and now im getting ready to go relax and get to sleep.

So big news about tonight… its going to be intense! We are apparently going to hit some really really bad current changes in the middle of the night.. they warned us to put everything on the floor because it will be getting tossed around if its not.  They said this is going to be worse than anything we’ve experienced so far…. Im a bit nervous im just glad its in the middle of the night and so hopefully I can just try to sleep through most of it… but if there are intense draw slamming we will see what happens.. other news for the night we gain back another hour
