Got back from about three days out in the Gulf of Mexico. Quite a bit of work and not to terribly much sleep, so I'll keep this short. The day we headed out was clear and cool and generally gorgeous.
During the trip I saw the sunset twice and the sunrise once out at sea. Going out on a ship again sparks a bit of nostalgia. The hard decks do a number on the knees and ankles, and there's nothing quite like the night sky in a place with limited light pollution. Dolphins swam in our wake, and a birt caught a ride on the anchor. She used her perch as a hunting stand to stalk flying fish, and her two catches that I saw seemed to prove the wisdom of this approach.

Back in the sky tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to what the day sends my way.
