September 4, 2009 21:00 HR It was difficult sleeping last night. There was so much pounding through rough seas. In the morning I replaced my seasickness patch and after breakfast went below to my cabin where I fell promptly to sleep. I took naps through the day. The weather was beautiful with blue skies, sun breaking through puffy cumulus clouds. Interviews and taping for broadcast went o all day. Up in the focsil, some musicians gathered to play music. They had composed a blues song about being seasick. Katja Philippart explained about the water temperature. It had risen from 17.7 degrees C to 18.5 C. That along with the upwelling that she showed me in satellite images on her computer help to explain a red band indicating an area rich in nutrients. Sara Darwin, and Christopher Lloyd worked on an evolution game. There is always something going on. On deck I take my banjo out of it case and play. And then the chairs slide across the room.
