Captain's Log

06/17/2007

Sunday at sea is usually just another work day, but today was a little different.  About 1100, an island appeared on the horizon.  By noon, we were within a mile of Wake Island, looking at the small boat harbor and the lagoon.  By 1300, the island was drifting aft and over the horizon, but just in time for the Sinbad Games to begin.  The students competed in all types of nautical and strength related events by division to see who could organize the best teams.   

The end of the days events was one of our famous Barbeques at sea with Chicken, short ribs, bakes beans, Veggie burgers, Corn on the Cob, and to top everything off, just as the BBQ‘s were lit, one of the students caught a ONO, about 30 inches long.  Within 30 minutes, the ono was cleaned, spiced, and on the grill.  Freshest fish between Wake Island and Midway Island. 

The night is slowing down, but some of the students are still on the Fantail, listening to music and watching the last of the sunset.
