A funny thing, when you are at sea, it doesn’t matter if you are good or bad, for the sea gives you a blank card. You are. Just like this, you are at sea and this is what counts.

How’s the day going? Fine, thanks!
... I woke up around noon... and lazily looked around. My book, over which I had fallen asleep, got more folded pages, an alarm clock hid itself under my pillow... today is one of those days when a woman should not have to do anything. And so I did, I run around in my pyjamas all day, I prepared myself a cup of French vanilla coffee which I got from Marta and Krzyś. While water was boiling (also lazily), I took my time to check what is going on around: if there are any clouds, if everything is ok on the deck, I checked the batteries, my position, and I went back to check if my pillow doesn’t feel too “lonely”. I read the book, sip coffee, today is my “children’s day”, and no one can take it away from me!!! Everybody has a right to have some me-time, to stop caring about the rest of the world, with no remorse, just as it is, to say – “this is my day”. You don’t have to be in the middle of the ocean to have it, to take a bath (even if it was in a bucket), to give yourself a manicure (one hand at least), or to listen to music (at full blast) and read... read for the entire day. From dawn till dusk!!!
I wish you had such days, though, in my case wind did not understand the philosophy of a day off and blew from time to time, though didn’t seem to follow any particular pattern. I was wearing my pyjamas, true, but I had to run back and forth, set and reset the sails – children’s day or not, it’s always worth going on...
and so the day passes...

And your day? How did it go? Tell me three interesting events from your day...
