sighted land, an island south of India

Lat 7.1S  Long 72.24E  The sea is calm and we are continuing study days alternating  A and B.  Most days I start with coffee on deck then 15 minutes of spinning bicyle riding followed by breakfast.  the best meal  cereal with yogu rt eggs any one of three ways on alternayting days and more coffee.    Global studies a required course talks about the places we have been and where we are going.  All in geographic or historical context.  Also touching on poltics and the sustainable planet. Local speakers come on board between ports to give their views of the contempoary scene.   Then some work on the computer, mostly frustrating.   Lunch outside on the afterdeck with either friend faculty os students.   A large plate of lettuce is the centerpiece plus mixed beans rice fritta or fish.  It doesnot sound too good but it really is.  Fresh fruit which I usually save for later..Two classes in the afternoon followed by an hour of pilates a  metting of the life long learners (which is really a cocktail Hour)  I have given it up for the voyage.  We have show and tell after each port but most LL are pretty dull.  One is collecting masks at each port and they are interestng.   Followed by supper, much like lunch.  But you never get too hungry because you dont do too much.   Evenings have an entertainment a film some bridge or whatever.  We lose an hour every other day so the nights are short.
