Ship Update: The weather and wind continues to be fair, but we have had to engage the engine a couple times to keep our speed up when the wind decreases by much. We are getting a good last passage under sail, but we still have to make Norway on time which means using the engine a bit. The mood onboard is quite cheerful and it seems that maybe some are spending that extra few minutes on deck to soak in the view. Today is the official last day of school with the last exam at 1700 this evening. In other news, student Adriana is now Captain Adriana for the next 24 hours and will make the decisions to get us to Norway on time!
