We're back into the swing of life at sea, which is divided into "A" days and "B" days. College classes are either A or B courses and meet on alternate days while we are at sea, regardless of whether it is the weekend or not. Hawaii to Japan is about 3000 nautical miles, so we are in a long period of school before Japan, China, and Vietnam happen all in a row with only a little break in between each country. Tonight we set our clocks back again an hour, which we have done four times now. That makes us 7 hours behind EST. And in a few days we will cross the International Date Line and "lose" a day. This concept has been explained to me many times, but I still don't quite get it. All I know is that we go to bed on Tuesday night and wake up on Thursday morning.
The kids are doing well. Asher's foot continues to heal and for the rest of us our upper body muscles continue to strengthen as we cart the little guy around. The seas are calmer today...yesterday Charis and I felt a bit seasick from the rolling, but all is well today. We've had bracelet beading, breakdancing (really) and dodgeball today. Life is good!
