It is dawn and the eastern sky on our starboard bow is yellow fading subtly into a Maxfield Parrish-like blue silhouetted with dark clouds. Above our port stern quarter, a frosted full moon is setting, illuminating the undulating seaswell behind; a trail of shimmering water. The sound of water, like a running brook, complements the nearly imperceptible sound of the wind brushing the water. Carina is gliding along humming a sotto voce song of rhythmic shooshes as she pushes the sea. It is hard to imagine ugliness or violence in a world so peaceful and beautiful.
At 9/17/2016 and 19:31 UTC (GMT) our position was: 00°36.78'N / 146°16.75'E.
