It is monday morning and you wouldn't know unless you'd look at the calendar. The local time is 8:48am. Today we crossed another time zone. The captain told me it is the Grenwich time minus 3 hours time zone. At noon we will be moving the clock back an hour. And that means, that our 3 hour watch from 9-12noon will become a 4 hour watch, no problem. Another margarita please! ;D
Earlier this morning during our 12-2am watch, Roger heard noises coming from the galley. It turns out, there was a flying fish flapping on the floor. It apparently flew in, hit the instruments board and then fell downstairs. The poor fish must've been dead by then.

Sometime last night we passed the midway mark, at this point we have 1,350 naitucal miles to go untill we arrive in good old St. Lucia. Yeay! Right now our heading is 291 degrees, sailing to the wind, northwest. The winds should be picking up as we get closer. Our current speed is between 6.5 and 7.7 kts.

Andale Bandido!
