Captain Bligh Gives Crew Rest

Day #26: For the first time since St. Augustine the crew doesn't rise at dawn. In fact Nellie bobbed on her mooring, lifeless, until well after 8am. Breakfast out, a walk around the peninsula, a swim in the gulf, and a night cap ashore highlighted the days activities. Bligh scowled at the crew's frivolity and was heard muttering to himself, "Mark my words, no good will come from this."
