Email from the Ship: The last 2 days have been sunny and we are traveling along @ 17.5 knots the fastest so far. The engines must be working ok now. We saw many porpoises playing around on the port side of the bow yesterday.Our position 2-15=04 was 05 N 115 W and today is 06 N 118 W.
I haven't said much about the food we eat. I think it is very good. Often I don't know what it is by the name on the menu so the others explain it to me. Then when it comes, it seems like the food we eat in America. i.e.yesterday was savoury minced beef, chipped potatoes, and artic roll. It was sloppy joes, french fries and ice cream cake. Usually we have Russian soup(borscht) and a buffet of a salad, raw vegetables, cold cuts, cheese and crackers. One day we had a Scottish meal-Haggis, neaps and tattiea. Haggis is a mixture of lambs liver, kidney and heart with oatmeal. neaps is rutabaga and tatties is mashed potatoes. I wasn't too fond of it. The cooks are russian and the prepare 2 separate meals- one for the crew and one for us and the officers. They serve a lot of fish. There are some other unusual dishes too. That's it for now
