We passed the Tropic of Capricorn, we slept. We passed the Prime Meridian, we slept. We passed the Equator, we slept. The water remains astoundingly blue. We work on several engaging and challenging projects daily in a deep-ocean humidity, all systems go. At days end, we either hide inside or flutter mirthlessly like heavy petals until sunset. 

The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. – Vonnegut
