Breakfast compliments of Damian this morning! Winds have lightened up in the past 24 hours, and according to our forecasts it looks like a hole in the trades may develop up ahead in a couple days. We’ve gybed and shifted our course a bit to try to get south of it.

Damian got a couple great pics when the dolphins (or porpoises?) visited again yesterday, just before sunset. We had a dozen or more swimming with the boat for nearly half an hour.
