Water, water everywhere and no time for a swim

Another day underway, we will pass by two islands probably in the middle
of night. At this point it will be the closest that we have been to land
since we left a few days ago. It was a few rough days for me at the
start. I was sea sick for about 30 hours and the most comfortable place
to be is laying down. I usually get sick the first time out but it
doesn’t usually last as long as it did. I finally gave in and took
seasick medicine which I think helpedf tremendously. We are eating lots
of snacks and fruit and staying hydrated.

At sea we have watched albatross and flying fish but no whales yet. We
are all on the look out for whales. I think I saw one from the air when
I flew into Raiatea from Bora Bora. It is warm and we are all trying to
stay out of the sun and stay in the shade.
