The Flat Friends love sea days! We can play games, relax—and look up the answers to any questions that have popped into our heads!
We sailed out of Bali in the Lombok Strait, to the Bali Sea. Now we are in the Java Sea headed north to the equator and Singapore. There are 70 or more Seas in the world! When this trip is over we can go back through our journal and see how many seas we were aware of sailing.
As for the phrase “sailing the seven seas,” turns out they were referring to the seas nearest Ancient Greece—otherwise known as sailing the local waters! We got a good laugh out of that! We wanted to see the world, by sailing the seven seas, turns out we were a little mixed up (or maybe just had more to learn.)
