madness at sea. i think often of how life on the Phyllis Dunlap is like living in a monastary. As I watched the captain pace laps around the boat, I am reminded of “Midnight Express” where the American goes around the wrong way - just for varieties sake. Everyone is looking for something to amuse themselves.
I have been studying, and the Mate has been signing off on my assessments. I am 1/4 through sea phase one and have signed off on all of sea phase 1 and have begun the next phase’s assignments.
I have also been listening to books on tape. So far i have listened to “The Apprentice - Autobiography of Jaques Pepin. I just got to the final chapter of “Chatter” by Patrick Raden Keefe. It’s about the NSA’s eavedropping program. If your not paranoid, your not paying attention. Good read. I start the history of Greece tomorrow.
Yesterday the captain caught a Mahi Mahi, which we will eat tomorrow. You can see the rig for the line in the picture to the left. We have been trailing it for a week now, and this our first fish, after catching a small line and a fishing net. Didn’t have my camera ready - will get a shot of the next one.
