We still have pretty good sailing breeze and we are
on still on beam reach. Weather forecast is that wind will die down and be
directly from behind so we have been getting spinnaker pole sorted and prearing
tactics on how to fly the cruising chute and Parasailor.
Steve did the daily clearance of flying fish from
the deck but this morining there were only about 10 compared with 15-20
yesterday, so just a slight drizzle of flying fish last night.
Last night was a wonderful night, the sky full of
stars.
Long distance sailing can be tiring in many ways
but it is important to enjoy what it does give and one of those is those lovely
skies of starts.. some of them are twinkling and shining and it is
something you just don't see from land with all the background
lighting.
We are now well over half way and at this stage
there is less to go than what we did in getting from Antigua to Panama - so
nearly there. - only just over 1200 miles to go to our waypoint near to our
destination.
the sea is a lovely blue colour here - so
clean and the waves have decreased and it is lovely...
