day 4 is turning out to be much the same as day 3. A bit
overcast and some rain drops this morning. 8 bodies on deck from kamakaze flying
fish. King rescued one which landed next to him in the night on deck and he sent
it flapping back to the ocean. We tried eating them yesterday, but so many
tiny bones are not pleasant on the palate, you wind up spitting most of your
dinner over the side. Last night was very clear sky, so millions of stars came
out to sparkle. Tim always says he sees a shooting star, I always tell him it's
a satellite. The phosphoresence in the water is also making an appearance. It is
as if the night fairies are out with glitter sprinklers beside and behind the
boat. Any disturbed water becomes a tumbling array of sparks for a second or
two. Sometimes it's like we have jet engines behind each hull (oh, I
wish) . So, for now, it's on with another book.
