And just like that, our last day on land has come and gone. I took a long run and savored being able to run straight for minutes at a time. I drank a lot of milk (not from a box). I took a bath, in water that wasn’t sloshy. We left port today. The difference between being in port and out is huge logistically- a ton of paperwork is done and we're not waiting on a harbor pilot to get us through the channel anymore. It’s also really nice for our brains- we are learning all the "underway" routines that will rule our life for the next few months, like how the internet works. We're just offshore now, waiting for the navy and our captain to feel good about the storm currently in our path. We expect to head south sometime tomorrow and for it to not be smooth. We had our first time zone change this afternoon and I have never felt time crawl towards dinner so slowly. Especially with all our trainings, we're standing and moving a lot and there are stairs everywhere- it's weird to write this to a bunch of strangers, but nobody told me we'd be so hungry! I find myself shifting from a vague excitement to having specific things I can imagine blowing my mind. More is coming, and it should be phenomenal. My job is to experiment with media that can bring you along for the experience too.
