Our second day out of Portsmouth, Day 5 for the juniors and 50 for the freshmen, has gone smoothly. The first set of drills with the new juniors took place, and went fairly smoothly. Seas have been building all day, and are expected to build through the night as we come into the first heavy weather of cruise. Students are excited, and spent time watching the seas build while the sun set out on the fantail. Many are also looking forward to round two of Trivial Pursuit night, coming up in a few short days.
