Dany II...we're continuing to make great progress
toward Langkawi in 20+knts of wind...now that we're S of Sri Lanka, we're
starting to see a few fishing boats...fortunately with these sea conditions
& our speed, they are not harassing us, wanting "arrack" (liquor) or
cigarettes...it can be a bit intimidating when a large fishing boat with a bunch
of guys start coming close & start demanding things!...we should be out
of their fishing zone by late tomorrow & our weather router tells us that
we'll continue to have plenty of wind...we finally had a visit of a large school
of spinner dolphin today, providing us with some welcome entertainment...we
only have 1,207 mi to go now...we realize that this is sort of like watching
grass grow, but stay tuned!...good nite from D2 &
crew
