31) northwest of Casablanca, Morocco

34° 47.729N 007° 36.70W About 65 miles northwest of Casablanca, Morocco

It was rough last night and today, Thanksgiving, and it is still a bit bumpy with winds
15-25 knots from the aft quarter pushing us through the water at about 5 knots.  John made the announcement that we were going to change our clocks.  But, someone would have to make up that hour on their watch and he volunteered.  At 9:30am we set the clocks back to 8:30am.  Basically, every 15° is a time change and I think we had gone that far at this time.  Anyway, what did it matter since we were all on a screwy schedule anyway.  It took me all day to work up the guts to cook a dinner.  At sea it usually takes me all day to work up energy to work the galley anyway.  Thanks to Nancy’s foresight…



It was a bit surreal.  We were dozens of miles off the coast of Casablanca, Morocco eating a Thanksgiving dinner at 2pm local time of ham, yams, stuffing, wine and some fresh bread that I made.  There wasn’t anything or anybody else in sight. 

Blue sky, blue offshore water, and warmer air.
