Friday, February 24, 2012 Day 49…At Sea - Balls Pyramid

Seems like these past four days at sea have dragged on.  The Pacific Ocean is very calm, however when watching  the horizon, it seems to raise and fall about eight feet.  Jerry thinks I’ve finally got my sea legs!  Yesterday Captain Mercer had received numerous requests to cruise by a UNESCO world site. He altered our course and we were able to sail by the Ball’s Pyramid.  The Ball’s Pyramid is the tallest volcanic stack in the world.  It is 1844 feet high, and stands high in the middle of the ocean.
