Back to "normal"...?

So, amid my lengthy Morocco posts, which should have at least one more installment, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling much better since Thursday. I woke up yesterday and felt totally fine. So, we're getting back to "normal"for our second long stretch of the voyage. We should be stopping, just as we did off Gibraltar, in Dakar, Senegal, to bunker for fuel perhaps tomorrow. We've been trucking along - across the Atlantic the ship's average speed was about 20 knots, here along Africa we've been going about 24 knots. The best part is that even though we're going faster, despite that rocky start on Thursday, now it almost feels as though we're sitting in the port because the ship's only rocking the slightest bit. Pretty cool. And, I sat out on the deck all afternoon and read. Let me repeat that just so it sinks in for me - I sat out on the deck all afternoon and read. Pretty much my dream come true (yeah, I'm a nerd with a penchant for wind through my hair). Ah, if only it were leisure reading, then my life would be complete.

So, I'll finish up Morocco tomorrow, I just wanted to throw in this little non sequitur so no one thought I was still green in the face while feverishly typing my updates.
