Glory - lagoon 42 log Day 17- sunrise shift

Today marks my 17th day at sea. I started this day like every other day: a beautiful sunrise and a good cup of French press coffee. Selfishly I do I the 6-9 AM shift each day ( and the 2100-2400...my crew then covers the day in 3 hour 1 man shifts and at night in pairs at 3 hours each: we are a total crew of 5). This allows me to greet each day and also to put the boat to bed each night. It also gives me 6 hours on uninterrupted sleep - theoretically!
The sunrise is my reward each day. I think its nice that the reward comes early before the day even starts. It assumes that I am deserving. With St Lucia only 500 miles away and the end in sight we are appreciating each moment all the more. I sure will miss these views.
