Well, as of 0200 the ship made the final time zone change on this side of the International Date Line. I promptly ran into the obvious problem – no way to set my phone etc. The result was spending the day “an hour ahead” of everyone else.
It was weird – having to mentally adjust the observed time to the “real” ship’s time whenever I thought about doing something. The reason was clear – If I wanted to attempt a couple of webinars (on PDT) I needed to have ” real” time I could track. Also – frankly – having my brain engaged at 0630 seemed more rational than at 0530. Can hardly wait till we go across the dateline and I am operating on a different date than California. Not.
On the map – you can see we are sailing toward Australia – at the bottom – you can see the UTC – 12
a close up with a few more islands – none of them visible. As we transited into slightly “shallower” waters – the seas didn’t get any smoother.
So, after frogging 250+ stitches out of Dreaming Girl – I restarted butterflies
and finished the third ghost in the Mini-Haunting SAL – so I just need to finish the border. Oh yes, and the backstitching…
