Set, strike and furl practice

Watch this morning was very calm, slowly sailing, about 2 to 3 knots. For work party Tenley and I started sewing the signal flags again, but ended up shaking out and setting every sail. Afternoon watch we struck everything and stowed it. Peter and Cory furled with us, it was nice having the mates there and us actually having to teach them because they hardly ever go aloft. While aloft we also saw some whales.

The 4 to 8 watch ended up seeing some very strange clouds, morning glories. Apparently they are very rare and usually happen around Australia.
