During our watch at night it was completely cloudy and very dark, with no moon and stars, and since the wind was not stable, so Nano told us that only him, Angus and the watch leaders would be helming. Since we could not see the horizon it felt like we were floating and flying through space.
The watch went well, but as soon as we had gone down, suddenly big collapse and a broach. We had to do an emergency drop of code 2, prepare code 3 and hoist it. By the time I finally went to sleep I was knackered.
When I woke up the day was grey, cloudy, with a bit of rain. As Angus put it: “this looks like summer in the UK”
We had discovered a small hole in the code 3. We were not able to switch to code 2 yet as it was still quite windy. So we had to designate a "hole observer” who was to be looking at the hole all the time so that we could do an emergency drop if it started to get bigger.
Finally the wind died a little and we were able to peel from code 3 to code 2. This is a very complex evolution which requires a lot of people, most of them handling several tasks. It's great that Nano is awesome at directing these evolutions, clearly indicating to every one what they need to do and when.
Today we also saw a couple of sailor jellyfishes. These creatures float on the surface and have something that looks like a sail. They use it to travel through the oceans using the wind. Look them up, they are amazing.
