Journal Entry

Today we have a small journal entry as I was preparing for tomorrow's live event. I hope to hear a lot of you there.

Last night I looked out the porthole and saw what appeared to be a clear night. I have been waiting for a night like this to take pictures of the southern stars, but not only the night was not clear, we had a half moon (waxing gibbous moon) illuminating the sky. Well, when it could pass the low clouds or thick patches of fog in the horizon.

Today, as I was working on the presentation for tomorrow, I saw the sun behind another bank of fog, and thought I would take a picture. I used a fast speed to get this picture of the sun, and it came remarkably similar to last night's moon. Day or night?

It is hard to tell we are in the Southern Oceans in these pictures, specially before we have enjoyed two days of calm seas. I wonder what Poseidon has for us for the next few days. I thought you might enjoy other pictures of the sun shyly peeping out form the clouds and fog. The following one is actually from yesterday.

This one is from today. The fog provides quite a scene out there, as if we were to be swallowed by the large monster that lurks beneath the surface on a suspense movie. And I, of course, with the illusion of being the movie's hero that saves the day.
