I woke up early and stayed in bed reading Gone Girl. A few minutes before breakfast I got up and went outside to find that it was sunny, warm, but incredibly windy. I went down to have breakfast at 7am. Afterwards, Stevan invited me up to the bridge with him to look over the charts and get a better idea of where we were and what our trajectory would be. When I got back to my cabin I found a crew list at my door. Including the officers, there are twenty-one people working on this ship.

The game took hours to play, and by the time we were through we were all ready for bed. Before I turned in I recalled that I needed to set my clock back one hour for the time zone change. It was not yet 9pm with the change.
