Another pretty good day on the water. Sean has finally realized who is really in control, so we're all happy.

Minor inconvenience today as we ran low on battery power. We had to run the generator for several hours, and it is working a lot better now, so all is well there.

We are starting to calculate exactly when we will be in sight of land. We'd like to see something on the water besides rubbish and whitecaps. There's a offshore drilling platform a few miles off our route that we should be able to see Sunday. We might take a look at it.

We even have a parking spot for Adventure figured out!

My crew no longer listens to me. They're being mean to me too. I've, therefore, devised a devious plan to take back control of the ship. I've hidden the Rice Krispy treats. I know it sounds cruel, but it's the only way...

We're making good time today. Ron tortured us with the original Pink Panther last night. It took us 3 hours to get through the film and we were all out cold towards the end. The movie wars will begin tonight. It's my night and I'll be pulling out one of my Buster Keaton's classics tonight. Or better yet, Dances With Wolves - The director's cut.

We're making good time today. All is well.

Not sure why I got "blog duty" today. Sean keeps asserting his pho-thority over his crew. He is learning to be the master of omission! Remember that hostess cupcake thing? It went more like

Sean: Hey we have THREE hostess cupcakes, lets have that for desert Me: Wow, sounds great, although I thought you said the cupcakes are yours and you aren't sharing Sean: Yeah but I need to thank you all over and over again because I know you guys are really in charge Scott: That's nice of you Sean. Go get the cupcakes now. (a few minutes passes) Sean: Oh, bummer, there are only TWO cupcakes. Me: That's ok I didn't really want a cupcake anyway. Chocolate sounds better. Sean: That's nice of you. Scott: You know, chocolate sounds better anyway. Sean, why don't you eat both of them? Sean: Awesome! I never get to eat these at home!

How this turned into "I ate both cupcakes in front of the crew" I don't really get. But you know Sean.

Now that the cupcakes are gone, it's all about the rice crispy treats. That went something like this:

Sean: Wow, those rice crispy treats were AWESOME, they were covered with chocolate on one side, great! Scott: Only one of my rice crispy treats had chocolate Me: Mine too Scott: Sean, I think there are two different kinds, you'll have to have no chocolate on both of yours today to make up for that Sean: OK

That's Sean asserting his pho-thority.

Anyway, we are using the motor sometimes, and the wind sometimes. The wind seems to calm as we watch our movie. Tonight we're watching the Pink Panther.
