Joel in Gothic written over snow on top of Cargo Hatch Cover using deck brush with long handle while vessel underway. I have to go up to one of the ships crane to get a good shot.

Love it!  I think you need to meet up with the guy in South Africa (?) that does the beach calligraphy.

Linda - Thank you so much.

Sherry Lou - Thank you so much. We cannot practice calligraphy if the waves are super choppy because the ship will be rolling heavily and to avoid the bottled ink not to spill. We usually practice when the sea is calm even with a little bit of rolling.

Our ship will be sailing today from Mormugao, India to Saldanha Bay, South Africa... It will be a 17 days voyage at sea... See you next time.

I miss Stan. I wonder if he could be coerced into joining these forums, if he hasn't already?
