Morning watch

Where the day began

Opening paragraph, written once the day's story lands. Where we woke, what the water was doing, the first coffee on the aft deck.

A lighter human aside from the day. The card game, the fish that got away, the crew's tip about tomorrow's anchorage.

From the deck — in their words

The chat log

The best of the day's WhatsApp chat, tidied only enough to read.

“Quote from the group chat goes here.”

Golden hour

Closing prose. Where we dropped the pick, what the sky did, dinner, the night sounds.
