Morning at sea

I meant to lie down for just a few minutes last night, but I slept through dinner. And then slept through the night.

I finally woke up around five, and went up to the ship's lounge for coffee around five-thirty. We were anchored off the coast of Espanola, and the crew was already preparing for the morning's expeditions.

At the equator, the sun rises at six and sets at six without much variation all year round, so I didn't have to wait long for the sunrise.
