Day Seven
One line on what this day was: the miles made, the weather, the watch that owned it.
The open ocean · dates to come

One evocative line to open the day.
Opening paragraph, written once the day's story lands. How the watch changed, what the sea was doing, the first brew handed up to the cockpit.
The main movement of the day: the sail changes, the squall that came through, the surf down a wave face, whatever carried the day.
A lighter human aside from the day. The mother-watch dinner, the joke that stuck, the sleep you didn't get.
The best of the crew's messages and Don's notes, tidied only enough to read.
Closing prose. What the sky did at the change of watch, dinner from a galley at thirty degrees, the sound of a boat still racing while you sleep.
A short italic envoi, the feeling to leave on.
