123 miles made good last 24 hours.  2345 miles to go

So straight after the last blog post, John caught the first fish.  Mahi Mahi, which provided a great curry for dinner.   A quiet if slightly slow night was pretty welcome after the last few excitements.   Dawn saw a few squalls, with reef in and then out, then staysail as well as genoa.  Then dolphins!  We had a pod of 9 or 10 playing on the bow for 15 minutes, which was lovely.  About an hour later though that was topped.  An Orca came to visit.  Just the one.  A group of 3 came back  a while later, but kept their distance.

Still trying to work our way west / north through this light patch of wind, looking for better in a day or so.
