Day 31-Amphibians


Today marks our 31st day at sea people feel that one day here is no different from other but a day at sea is always and every time different from other we consider ourselves more of amphibians now (no wonder jammy and aish call themselves croc and gator)as we have been away for a month now let us tell you about what we miss the most about being on the land and how it feels to spend so long at sea
Starting what we miss about the land the first thing that comes to our mind is some quality time with family and friends,its been a month and we have been in touch with them only virtually and can communicate by an email or two in a day we missed some important occasions too ( birthdays,anniversaries and "farewell of our mentor")So all of us are looking forward to get back and make up on the lost time.
The next thing that we miss are some delicacies which we crave for shou is already drooling about winter food at manipur VJ screams "ice cream" while swatcat says some tandoori chicken 
will be good aish and jammy smack at golgappe and red velvet cake,
aish and jammy also seem to miss shopping most of all, they have already made a list of what they want to shop for once we reach our destination it includes some souvenirs,Wine and all that glitters but is not gold the place is famous for,as of now they are curbing their urge to shop by watching movies of the like "Confessions of a shopaholic" (how cliche!)
Not to mention we miss being pampered at our favorite salons.
Party girls also miss the late night parties and are waiting to let their hair down once we hit land.so behold Capetown here we come!


How we feel about being for so long at sea? its an absolute bliss with each passing day and it gives us a sense of belonging

we learnt to live with bare minimum discovering and surprising ourselves with our own skills everyday being so close to nature is absolute blessing and we consider ourselves fortunate for it
we feel more domesticated as mhadei is our humble abode i am sure our mothers will be amazed(shocked and shaken!) of our improved culinary and housekeeping skills when we get back
we also discuss our lives right from the naughty things we did in childhood to memories that are very close to our heart 
in short we are not living life everyday we are living a lifetime in a day 

Signing off with mixed feeling
Wishing Mrs Sandya Awati, goodlady of our great godfather a very Happy Birthday 
1700 odd Nautical Miles to destination-" So close no matter how far"
Days are cool nights are colder
moon is raising so our starlit nights have become moonlit
