It has been a glorious day for sailing, clear blue
skies and a sparkling ocean. We were just three miles short of
repeating Anastasia's personal best of 240 miles. The wind is down a bit
now so we will be doing less tomorrow.
Tonight we have one of the clearest skies so far
and Andrea is out spotting constellations. Jupiter, Venus and Mars are all
in the sky together. Did you know that Canopus, the second brightest star
in the sky, was used by the space shuttle for navigation? The Southern
Cross is very clear tonight.
Everything was peaceful until Andrea just emitted a
blood curdling scream, Nothing serious, just hit on the leg by a flying
fish. The fish survived.
Here is today's sunrise. |
